After the BBC aired the movie in Dec. 2020, viewers complained on social media that the film promoted misogyny, racism and homophobia, according to Britain's The Times. Soon after, co-star Olivia Newton-John said during an interview on the Australian podcast "A Life of Greatness" that those who criticize "Grease" and say it is sexist and lacking in diversity need to "relax a little bit" and called those comments "kind of silly." She added, "The movie was made in the '70s about the '50s. It's a fun movie musical and not to be taken so seriously. I think everyone is taking everything so seriously. We need to relax a little bit and just enjoy things for what they are." Newton-John went on to say she doesn't view "Grease" in the way her critics do, and that "it's just a fun movie that entertains people. That's all."
