Celebrity hypocrites

Stupid question. Of course some of them are hypercrites.

Demi Lovato is totally phony with her support for mental illness causes.

Who me????

R2 She is??

You called?

Not me

Mariska Hargitay. What exactly does her charity do aside from have galas in NY and Hawaii and "raise awareness"? There was an interesting Deadspin article a couple of years ago that claimed her charity is more about branding than anything else. Apparently, the logo is owned by Kate Spade.

You are talking about me?

Pill Cosby

Caitlyn of course.

Rosie O

Roseanne

Leave Sally alone!

Miley Cyrus

Sean Penn, he just had a star-studded fundraiser for his Haiti foundation.

Leonardo DiCaprio. Yachts, jets, big houses but he wants others to make sacrifices for the environment.

99.9 % of them are hypocrites 99% of the time.

Sean Penn is the most sincere person in Hollywood and if you can not figure that out, you are nuts.

If they were genuine about their charity work, we wouldn't hear anything about it.

Charity is a cold, grey, loveless thing.

R17 is right. Anonymous charity is for the benefit of the needy, plastering your name all over an ostentatious display of giving is for the benefit of the celebrity.

R16 Hi Sean!

Sometimes having a famous name supporting a charity is helpful. Other times, the celeb is only in it for their own publicity. I agree though, that most celebs are hypocritical narcissists.

All these luvvies that drink champagne and demonstrate and live in hampstead. Try living on the rough side of town for a few weeks. Take a walk on the wild side for a change. Shooting and screaming, drug deals and needles on the doorstep. Oh yeah.

ALL of them.

The one occupying the White House right now.

Luke Evans' model/actor BF Jon Kortajarena is now an Ambassador for Greenpeace.

This is the same person who attended a bullfight where bulls were slaughtered. But I guess the creatures in the oceans are different and need to be saved. Fuck the ones who walk the earth.

FUCKING HYPOCRITE. Greenpeace should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree 100% about Leonardo DiCaprio.

All of the celebs who participated in the whole "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign, took the paycheck, and then wore fur out to whatever events they were attending.

R26: Even the founder of Greenpeace thinks they've sold out.

[quote]plastering your name all over an ostentatious display of giving is for the benefit of the celebrity.

Marketing failure says what?

All the "be nice to everyone" types make racist and homophobic jokes as soon as the paparazzi are out of the room.

R30 a celeb name isn't required to get money. The vast majority of charitable donations don't originate because some fame whore asked for it. People give to things close to their heart - families of patients give to cancer, Alzheimer's, MS research etc.

Taylor Swift is a big hypocrite. She is constantly playing the victim and she uses "feminism" whenever it suits her own agenda. Kim Kardashian rightfully exposed her.

And a celeb name isn't required to sell products, either; but when celebrities speak out, or appear in advertisements, it garners interest/support which translates into sales or donations. Why do you think republicanscum just hate the fact that Hollywood prefers Democrats?

Don't be naive OP, ALL of them dear.

The general idea that when someone supports a cause means that they must then adhere to the most ridge of standards is perplexing; for instance, Leo DiCaprio's use of jets and big houses. At what point would his consumption become acceptable? Should he not drive anything but a Prius? Or should he just walk everywhere he goes? Does the fact that he has solar panels on his house not count (assuming he does; I don't follow DiCaprio or know enough about him to know his energy use profile)? Or should he live in a micro house completely off the grid? I mean, look at the way those on the right deride conservation activists like DiCaprio while simultaneously mocking celebrities like Ed Begley Jr who actually do practice what they preach.

For the ones that have their own foundations, I wonder how much work the charity actually does or if it's just a write-off for the celeb.

Gwyneth Paltrow. Does that pretentious cunt even have a charity?

They're all hypocrites. Just follow the money. That's the motivating factor for celebs and their charities.

[quote] The general idea that when someone supports a cause means that they must then adhere to the most ridge of standards is perplexing; for instance, Leo DiCaprio's use of jets and big houses.

He doesn't just fly in jets. He flies in private jets. He doesn't just have a big house, he has a few big houses. I don't need to hear a cunt like that lecture me on cutting my carbon footprint. His carbon footprint last year was bigger than my carbon footprint for my entire life

Look at what I said and you quoted: [strong]use[/strong] of jet[strong]s[/strong], big house[strong]s[/strong]. Are you suggesting that someone who supports a cause (like environmentalism) should be prohibited from enjoying the fruits of their labor and good fortune? I think there's a word for that...

Well, at least DL doesn't strip out the html-like elements.

Bette Midler who wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for the gays but doesn't believe they should marry (see the awkward Larry King interview from some years ago).

Lady Gaga's Born This Way charity was exposed a few years ago for taking in millions in donation but only giving out one grant for $5000. I think they all do this, I would never donate to any of them.

Kim Kardashian

Kate Winslet, very big hypocrite (imo) . I always thought she was pretty and never understood why she'd get so much flak for being "fat". She was buttery and creamy in the Titanic (Victorian women were softer, "curvier")...and usually Brits are dry. So she had said for YEARS that those who run and work in Hollywood told her to lose weight. This went well into the early/mid 2000's------Recently, with many actresses speaking out on being paid LESS than their male conterparts. Kate Winslet said that she doesn't talk about money and perhaps it's beacuse she is English (I get that, I have English parents), But she went on to say that she was never treated unfairly by anyone in the industry. WTF?

all of them

$u$an $arandon

Bono. Lives in a palatial apartment on Central Park West and is a pain in the ass to his neighbors yet tries to make the world feel guilty about Africa.

I thought Bono lived in a tax haven. For a philanthropist he sure doesn't like to pay his own way.

R49 How is Bono "a pain in the ass to his neighbors"?

All gay actors involved in bearding schemes.

Something to do with squabbling with the people in San Remo, he didn't want them using their fireplaces.

I always thought Ellen was happy and fun and always dancing with fans. But it sounds like the real Ellen is rather dark personality wise. That was a disappointment assuming it's true.

Sure, but isn't apartment dwelling a lot more eco-friendly than having a big free-standing home with a (gag) lawn?

Ask any of Mariska Hargitay's Hampton neighbors what they think of her. Huge hypocrite, not to mention a terrible neighbor who thinks her celebrity status makes her exempt from obeying local bylaws.

Don't get me started.

I always thought the millionaires who started foundations in their own names generally funded it themselves, both altruistic and tax saving. I don't get Caitlyn Jenner starting one in her name and then flogging donations from the masses when she has millions to spend quietly. I don't recall Rockefellers out there asking the masses for their dimes.

Eddie Murphy.

Hardcore feminist Jessica Chastain producing a movie with big time abuser Matthew Newton is one of the most hypocritical things I've ever seen in Hollywood. He stepped down as director, but he's still getting paid for his screenplay. Jessica still hasn't issued a statement about it. There's simply no way she or anyone in her circle didn't bother to google this guy beforehand.

Meryl Streep - she called Harvey Weinstein "God" and gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation at the 2003 Oscars, then made positive statements about the #metoo movement.

Natalie Portman - also signed the Polanski petition, but makes a big deal out of what a "feminist" she is.

Jimmy Kimmel - he talks about gun control then claims to be apolitical ("I'm just a comedian").

Joss Whedon - also made a big deal out of what a "feminist" he is, but cheated on his wife constantly and uses the "casting couch" to cast his projects and for writers.

Every celeb listed in the Paradise Papers.

Matt Damon has spent the past decade having to backtrack some of his time deaf statements because he exposed himself as a hypocrite faux liberal.

bump

DiCaprio = douchebag lectures us constantly about our carbon footprint yet he takes private jets everywhere. Kudos to Joaquin Phoenix for taking a jab at him at the Golden Globes.

Streep = this cunt praised the me too movement and shoved her politics down our throats at the Globes but of course knew nothing about her BFF Harvey. Also, check out her standing O for Roman Polanski.

Chastain = for the longest time, this two faced bitch wouldn’t shut the fuck up about all things gender. When notorious abuser Matthew Newton was hired to write the script for her latest project, she shockingly had no comment.

Jennifer Lawrence said she wanted to see Weinstein go to jail but we all know she fucked six ways from Sunday for movie roles.

Mr. Clooney is constantly up on his soapbox preaching about "human rights" yet when the story about child labor picking the coffee beans for his lucrative Nespresso deal broke he could only manage to say he was "sad", no long lecture about that and certainly no action taken.

Bill Maher. Acts liberal and claims to support feminists but talks to pretty or smart women with obvious disdain. Dates only WOC whom he obviously feels superior too. Extols the virtues of smoking pot while saying eating an orange is like inviting the plague into your house. Also friends with Ann Coulter?

R68: I thought he was gay.

Sting and Trudie Styler

Demo Moore.

R69 - I think he is and he is too much of a hypocrite to say it.

R70 - yeah either major asshole written all over.

Jada Smith. Nasty and low class boozer, racist and show off who claims depth through that table talk nonsense.

Joel

R74 what has Jada said that makes you think she's racist??

Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you'll find the real tinsel underneath.

I can specifically name several, and specifically why, however, I won’t.

Everyone knows what they, themselves, did last summer. LOL.

Never too late to stop pointing fingers, look inside one’s heart, and change some hypocritical ways, YES???

Christina Aguilera sang the song "Can't hold us down" to raise awareness about double standards between men and women but then she let her son get circumcized where he was actually "held down" against his will. What a hypocrite she is.

R68 but he invited this feminist to his show. What else do you want?

R67 I agree with you. He is so two-faced.

R66 eeeew

R79 Jesus, her boobs look ridiculous in that outfit 👀

R61 Madonna even called him "punisher". I wonder why...

R46 I am on Kate's side here. The wage gap has been debunked since the 70s and dumb ass celebrities want to bring the "wage gap" discussion into the realm of hollywood where people are paid based on popularity. For instance Lawrence was paid more than her male co-star Pratt in Passengers.

How very DARE you, OP!

I am truly appalled by violence against the defenseless.

And don’t I look ADORABLE in my pixie cut and expensive coat made from goose feathers and fur!

I bake cookies for my costars on set. I’m just a real girl.

R33 Like a child she made "the man music video" and played the victim instead of admitting to her mistakes.

R36 But he even behaved that way to get his "environmental award". He could have also declined the award and made a youtube video or something similar instead.

R12 I think she is pretty consistent in her deranged views. According to this website at least...

Amy "Anyone who is not a feminist is insane" Schumer

Bump.

R5 I know it’s fun to mock U2 but I lived in Dublin years ago and U2 redeveloped a shit ton of that city with their own money. They weren’t loved unconditionally but even the many, many Irish I knew who hated them admitted that they had done a lot for Dublin and Ireland. Things may have changed but I think on the balance, they’ve done more good than bad.

[quote] Ask any of Mariska Hargitay's Hampton neighbors what they think of her

Examples please. I don't hear about her, period. Unless it's some fawning over what a "badass" she is.

All of them. Okay, most of them. I think Ed Begley Jr. practices what he preaches.

And some don’t preach, so I appreciate that.
