celebrities slammed for ‘tone-deaf’ coronavirus comments
celebrities – Some Hollywood stars are biting their tongues after making insensitive comments amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has derailed multiple television and film productions in addition to preventing large-scale events from taking place for the foreseeable future.
One of the first stars to come under fire was Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow, who took to the company’s Instagram account on Friday with a selfie hawking a $450 skirt and a $425 pair of sneakers.
“We’re in the middle of a world-wide pandemic, y’all really think anyone’s gonna buy an ugly a–s $450 skirt?” one user commented.
The company was quick to delete the post and has since moved forward with wellness and health-related content.
Meanwhile, Chrissy Teigen admitted a tweet she wrote over the weekend about ordering soup came across as “tone-deaf.”
“This is not an ad but if you’re holed up at home, ordering America’s best food from Goldbelly is the way to go right now!” the cookbook founder wrote. “Currently shipping clam chowder from Boston to myself.”

When one fan-made note of Teigen boasting about a cross-country delivery, she replied, “It was a ride. I didn’t mean it to sound like I don’t care about the pandemic? it was tweeted innocently, perhaps tone deaf but I like soup and if you can support these businesses, then that seemed cool but yeah if you can’t, then that is also fine, I am not shaming you.”
“Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay, 34, also admitted wrongdoing after she openly refused to live in isolation.
“Any of my friends working from home this week should come join me for a Palm Springs quarantine!” Shay tweeted on Saturday.
