Man, this is a difficult time-for me, because it is too hot, and then it is not, I feel deprived of the whole season-for Chrissy Teigen also a little bit because people are angry with her ——But most All in all, this is the most difficult for many of her victims.
Before we get to the core of what I’m talking about, you must first understand other celebrity gossip. You’re welcome!
Years ago, a “fan” made a compilation of Billie Eilish dictating the word “chink” on TikTok
Billie Eilish, a pop star big enough to be my daughter (she is 19, guys), is the subject of a viral video in which she was seen uttering the word “chink” when she was 13 or 14 years old. And speaking in a way that almost sounds like gibberish is like a mockery of Asian languages.
Naturally, Eilish issued a statement denying racism. She said: “I said a word from a song. I didn’t know that it was a derogatory term for members of the Asian community. I was shocked and embarrassed. I wanted to complain about it. No matter what I said at the time. Neither ignorance nor age can justify the fact of harm. I am sorry for that.”
Look, an apology is good, but what shocks me even more is that I had to dig hard before I figured out what the slander was in her mouth. Many reports on this matter are vague, saying that Eilish said a “word that devalues Asians.” I am writing this column on the deadline, so it is very frustrating. I don’t think it is necessary to treat the word chink like Voldemort. When we do not say its name, we will give it more power.
Is Megan Rapinoe a racist?
The football superstar, and one of my favorite spokespersons, Megan Rapinoe was accused of race after she sent a tweet to U.S. women’s football teammate Natasha Kai 10 years ago. discriminate. The tweet to Kai said: “You look like an Asian with your eyes closed.” Kai is a mixed-race, with Hawaiian, Filipino, and Chinese descent.
Naturally, a group of people on Twitter accused Rapinau of being racist, although at a glance, most of the people who asked for her cancellation were white people named Pete, Nathan, or Jason, and they were screaming at the same time. “Equal pay for equal work!”
Look, I don’t know anything about women’s football, but if it is like any other women’s professional sport, I can guess that it has a lot of passionate, reasonable and feminist male fans.
Regardless, Rapinoe said nothing about this. Kay said nothing. Rapinuo did not delete this tweet either. So far, she doesn’t seem to care at all. I kind of like it. This is a kind of metal and badass.
I say this as someone who deleted my entire Twitter history—my entire work on Twitter—because I am worried that I, a non-celebrity and non-public figure, will be found writing some super avant-garde and race The doctrine was given to my friend 10 years ago.
So in a way, I think I get it, Megan. In other words, I might just be a defender of Rapinoe? ! I don’t know how I feel about it! (Look down my article about Chrissy Teigen, eh? My confidence in snark is temporarily broken!)
James Cordon finally stopped acting like Asian food and disgusting
In the “Late Night Show”, the host James Cordon has a recurring clip called “Spit Your Guts”, in which celebrity guests can eat whole grains or answer exploratory questions they might not want to answer Choose between. In the past, a lot of the food in this market segment came from Asian cultures-chicken feet, fish eyeballs and baruts and other foods-if you have an open heart, open mind and non-racist taste.
Seriously, it has always annoyed me that white Americans like to retreat in front of different types of world cuisine-most of which obviously come from originality, deep cultural history, community, and people becoming creative to support their families in difficult times. Make a living-the people who turned to eat the death bomb before like burgers, French fries, Pizza Hut, egg bacon and donut bacon.
In response to criticism and change.org petitions, Corden unexpectedly responded in an unobtrusive way. He said his show would end. “We heard that story, and next time we do this, we will definitely not involve or use any of these foods,” Corden told Howard Stern. “Our show is a show about joy, light and love. We don’t want the show to upset anyone.”
I don’t really believe in his sincerity, although he usually does the right thing. I doubt his authenticity, because Chrissy Teigen taught me that love is not true at all. This is an illusion.
Sooo…I was wrong Chrissy Teigen
For many years, I have been extolling the virtues of Chrissy Teigen in this column. I have always been a big fan of her social media personality, and it is good that a person who is so traditional and beautiful can be so interesting, so entrepreneurial, and so politically active.
Then we all know that she is a bully-like a super poisonous bully that makes you afraid of the secret emotional life and happiness of John’s legend-a bully who uses her platform to say harmful things to people (mainly women) is pushing In the article publicly and privately in the DM. One of the most shocking incidents involved Courtney Stoden, who was non-dualistic and was previously known for marrying the then 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison in 2011 when Stoden was only 16 years old. That year, Tegen was one of many people who mocked and humiliated a 16-year-old girl. She was basically a victim of abuse. He wrote on Twitter: “I can’t wait for you to die” and then “go away. Right.” Sleeping. forever. “
In response to the exposure of this scandal, Tegen wrote on Twitter: “Not many people are fortunate enough to be responsible for all their past nonsense in front of the world. I feel ashamed and sad for my past self. I am an insecure, seeking Followed troll… I’m sorry, Courtney…”
Stoughton said that they forgave Tegen, but they also want to know whether the apology is just for appearance-to save the business and brand that Tegen has cultivated over the years. On social media, Stoden did add: “I never received news of her or her camp privately. In fact, she blocked me on Twitter.”
What this whole thing taught me is obviously never to trust my judgment of people again. In addition, the worship of celebrities is very strong. As media consumers, we will definitely be criticized by the well-planned image of celebrities. When someone is famous, famous, and attractive, we tend to think that they are also an absolutely reliable and ethical person.
I think that when it comes to celebrity and influencer culture, it is very necessary for all of us to cultivate more skepticism. We need to stop listening to them talking about science and education, vaccines that cause autism, and maybe we need to stop buying their recipes and cooking utensils.
Now is a tender moment for me. For a while, I will nervously search for scandals that completely change my view of Dashi Johnson or Sandra O.
If you see news about any of them, please don’t show it to me—and, definitely show it to me, because knowing is better than burying your head in the sand.
