Ordinary people are fed up with celebrities and the elite flaunting their wealth while the world burns, prompting a social media blockout.
at the weekend may have pushed a clip of influencer Haylee Kalil – Halyybaylee on TikTok – onto your feed.
But the TikToker was not the only person to attract criticism. In fact, in all the years we’ve seen coverage of the Met Gala, this is the most negative reaction to the event that we’ve seen online. Dune star Zendaya has also been slammed for attending the event and not speaking out about the tragedies unfolding in Gaza, as has Kim Kardashian who wore a dress worth millions at the event.
However, the creator then mentions all the ills of the world, as well as “this situation”. The “situation” is the conflict in Gaza, but Kalil can’t even bring herself to mention it. She does state that she’s not informed enough to comment on it, but that’s wilful ignorance. The prevailing opinion appears to be that if ordinary people can live with the discomfort of the global economy, the after-effects of a pandemic and worse, celebrities can live with the discomfort of not being the first choice in an influencer campaign because they spoke out about a war., Lizzo and Chris Olsen have posted videos encouraging followers to support families in Gaza and donate to organisations supporting Palestinians in the region.
