I think sadly everyone missed an opportunity to make a meaningful statement about the actual issue at hand here. Which is the genocide currently happening in Palestine...

Thank you for saying what I was thinking. Disappointing response from these ladies.

MMMMMM ... this was beyond tone deaf. Its really disappointing that a panel of smart women can never seem to handle difficult conversations. Y'all stayed focused on the celebs and not ...... the 45,000 people who have died

Celebrites don't owe us anything.

It's odd because you guys are saying a completely different message from the blm movement. You guys always said that "silence is complicit," but now it's "they shouldn't have to say anything " it's hypocritical

losing followers is a big deal as it means your stock is down

[@MEGIDIOT]

I have a hunch that Andrea’s smart ass take here would’ve been so much different had it been a black social issue.
