We’re all dealing with this crazy Coronavirus together, well maybe everybody except Vanessa
Hudgens.
She had a lot to say on Instagram Live and now she’s regretting every second of it!
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and don’t worry, Clevver
isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
Alright, so let's get into what’s really going on with all of this Vanessa Hudgens
drama shall we?
On Monday, during an Instagram live, Vanessa appeared to give off some insensitive comments
when talking about the current state of Coronavirus which has resulted in thousands of deaths
and has millions of people quarantined as the government tries to contain the disease.
During her Instagram live she talked about just how long we all could be social distancing
for.
She said this, “Um, yeah, ’til July sounds like a bunch of bulls–t,”
Yeah… but that wasn’t all!
What she said next is what appeared to really rub some people the wrong way.
Welp, too late Vanessa, you did it and the consequences came in hot!
Let’s just say she didn’t make a lot of friends with those comments and Twitter appeared
to hold nothing back with one user writing “Stupidity level: Vanessa Hudgens.”
Another user wrote, “She’s pissed cause she already had cultures in line to appropriate.”
One person pointed out that they actually believe that Vanessa was high during the Instagram
Live writing “She's so baked.”
Let’s just say that there’s lots of thoughts on this.
But on Tuesday, shortly after facing all the backlash for her insensitive comments about
the virus, Vanessa took to her social media to apologize to her followers.
She took to her IG stories saying, “Hey guys, yesterday I did an Instagram Live and
I realized today that some of my comments are being taken out of context.”
But then she went on to
say this...
She also posted an apology to Twitter saying, “Hey guys.
I’m so sorry for the way i have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip
from my Instagram live yesterday.
I realize my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation our country
and the world are in right now.
This has been a huge wake up call about the significance my words have, now more than
ever.
I’m sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.
After her apology, people took to Twitter yet again to speak out about their distaste
for Vanessa’s apology.
One user wrote quote “How did you manage to get cancelled during a lockdown.”
Another user said, “Some of the “people” who are “gonna die, but whatever” are
beloved parents & grandparents.
Some are immunocompromised coworkers.
Some are young doctors and nurses and EMTs who spent years studying while you twirled
your hair and now risk everything.
DO BETTER”
And this user said, “As someone who has supported some of your work, it’s deeply
disappointing.There are millions of people being impacted not just from the virus but
also the collateral damage.
Try seeing beyond your own robust privilege in the future, especially with such a large
platform.”
But not everyone was on board with dragging Vanessa.
Chrissy Tiegen spoke out and tweeted, “sometimes people, especially famous people, are gonna
say really stupid shit. & so are you. and they, and u, will learn from it & hopefully
their history says they’re good.
it’s ok. and at the same time, wow they really had a dumb fuckin moment.
but u don’t have to ruin their lives”
That’s not all.
Chrissy goes on to say, “this isn’t about me this time.
but it will be one day, or it’ll be you.
but yeah today it’s Vanessa lol”
And she finished by saying, “and no, life is rarely ruined for anyone.
but you are damn well trying your best.
just stop.”
And let’s just say Chrissy Teigen’s defense of Vanessa triggered people even more and
again they went in on Twitter.
Like this person who tweeted, “Totally but someone’s gotta teach them how to apologize
better.
Everyone deserves the grace of forgiveness but they should at least attempt to actually
earn it (we’re talking about Vanessa right?)
And someone else said, “I disagree.
When she laughed and said "you know, some people are just going to die", it was obvious
she didn't mean her, or anyone like her.
She didn't mean the young, the healthy, or above all, the rich.
This was Parasite captured in one moment-- this was class warfare”
But then there was this activist who said, “I have said so much ignorant shit in my
time.
Thankfully, there have been people to explain to me why it was ignorant, educate me, and
accept my apology/willingness to do better.
That is being human.
Compassion & patience on their part.
Growth on my part.
That is what we do.”
Chrissy Teigen wasn’t the only celeb that spoke out though.
The popular instagram account commentsbycelebs reposted the video with a comment from Olivia
Wilde that says, “In a thousand years they’ll dig up our society and find this precious
digital moment and be like “Mmmm oh okay so this is why they mysteriously disappeared
from the EARTH”.
Other celebs replied to that repost like Lisa Rinna who said, “Instagram Live can be good
for some and oh so fucking bad for others.
Choose wisely gang.”
Obviously we understand why this is so upsetting and since people have plenty of free time
at home right now, we doubt that this will be going away anytime soon.
It’s time for you to chime in though.
