Mikey Madison Says Aaron Sorkin Told Her Not to Imitate Frances Haugen

Mikey Madison portrays Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen in Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, a follow-up to The Social Network. Madison said Sorkin advised her not to concentrate on looking or sounding exactly like Haugen. Instead, she approached the role by building a character for the drama. Haugen’s disclosures about Facebook’s internal research and content moderation brought renewed scrutiny to the company. The film explores the whistleblower’s story and the broader impact of social media, with Madison leading its cast.
