Bessie Carter Instagram – This week multiple celebrities paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld at the Met Gala. A hateful man who repeatedly fat shamed women throughout his career, consistently discriminated against any woman if they she didn’t look a ‘certain’ way, a man who once said he was ‘fed up’ with the #metoo movement, saying “If you don’t want your pants pulled about, don’t become a model! Join a nunnery, there’ll always be a place for you in the convent. They’re recruiting even!”
It makes me incredibly angry seeing pictures from the Met Gala.
It makes me incredibly sad that people would rather be paid thousands of pounds to wear a certain outfit or be seen on instagram to be at the gala… than stand up for something.
It makes me feel sick that the film/tv/music/beauty/‘celebrity’ industry turned a blind eye and decided to HONOUR a man who was one of the worst types of men out there. Poisonous and cruel.
I keep thinking we will learn, change and heal. But not like this we won’t.
Take action. Stand up against what is WRONG and TWISTED.
And don’t be wooed by a minute of fame, instagram followers or zeitgeist.
Imagine if everyone refused to go?
The headlines would be a LOT more interesting and you would look a LOT cooler and influential.
So here’s a picture of me putting my fingers in my ears and pretending the world isn’t mad for a second.
Peace and love to all. | Posted on 04/May/2023 21:00:54
