Jonathan Glazer’s speech was brave and heartfelt, and at the biggest moment of his career. Thank you to him and to all of our Jewish brothers, sisters and siblings who are putting their careers and relationships on the line for the truth. Your voice is so important.
Whenever I talk about celebrities or influencers with my mom, my sentences usually start with "I don't like them because-" since there is usually something they have said or done that's problematic (there are very rare exceptions -like I haven't found reason to dislike Keanu Reeves, for example, because that man seems lovely and kind to the core -or artists like Kehlani -of course I know there are more people -but as I tell my mom and many people frequently, that list is vastly small). And yes, each of them have done things on a spectrum -some much more extreme than others, but so many of them are awful.
Adele and Kate McKinnon during their awful SNL skit about Africa that I hope no one forgets about, to Ariana Grande CONSTANTLY 'cosplaying races' (you only need to search for this online -she's done this numerously), to Mark Wahlburg's violent racist history where he committed hate crimes, to Brad Pitt who we recently discovered is an abuser -to both his ex-partner Angelina Jolie and their kids, as well as Ellen DeGeneres and Lizzo -who both built careers from their respective positionalities in fields where there as a lack of representation only for us to find out they're both part of and complicit in the abuse of those on their teams. The list goes on and on.
Hollywood and the music industry coddle and platform abusers because if they're making them money, despite them being awful, and it's beyond shameful. That's why celebrity culture needs to be dismantled entirely.
Kevin Spacey flew with Jeffrey Epstein and was named in his little black book. Multiple men have come forward to accuse Spacey of sexuaI assault when they were young boys.
This is what happened to the people who came forward against Spacey:
1. Dead, suicide (Ari Behn)
2. Dead, hit by a car (Linda Culkin)
3. Dead, cause unknown (John Doe)
4. Case suddenly dropped (07/2019)
After Kevin Spacey’s accusers mysteriously died he made this video before the start of the New Year.
