You are ignoring the other part of the context where the question specifically namedropped Tran and the harassment she faced.
However, to be clear I am with you on what he was trying to imply. This wasn't a carefully considered written response Boyega gave, he was rolling off a train of questions and responding from an internalized perspective to the general theme of the preceding questions. He should have earned enough good will in the past to have been granted some space to clarify or at the very least for the full context of the questions to have been presented up front, some of the hot takes in this thread are embarrassing, but I think it's still something worth clarifying after the fact because it is a sensitive issue.
