If a fat loud mouth from Flynt can have a "documentary" career for pushing much crazier theories, why should a talented acress from France suffer?
We need to stop being so reactionary to stuff like this, especially with anyone from France. If you've ever studied 20th century French philosophers like Derrida or Lyotard, you'll realize nothing they say is meant to mean anything other than to get an emotional rise out of people.
I dont agree with her, but the French are smarter than Americans.
Freedom of Speech should include the right to be wrong, silly, and/or boycott.
I dont agree with her, but the French are quick to dismiss anything that requires emotional investment in anything but themselves.

There is more on the "controversy".
Which "crazier theories" are you referring to? The one about a CEO that displaced thousands of workers while collecting an obscene bonus check? The one about the gun industry that accepts random carnage as just another cost of doing business? The one about a health care system that ranks your health care far below other considerations? Yeah, those are crazy!
Moore always starts out with a plausible premise and wraps it in conjecture pieced together by favorable edits. Just ask Matt Stone or Sanjay Gupta, two people who are otherwise on board with Moore's politics.
