Celebrities can be very dramatic and Roe V Wade’s repeal led to an explosion of anger tantrums.
This weekend, pop celebrities Olivia Rodrigo, Lily Allen, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Lorde and Phoebe Bridgers took time out of their performances at the Glastonbury Festival in England to protest Friday’s ruling.
On Saturday, Rodrigo gave a speech after welcoming Allen to sing her song, “F**K You” which the two dedicated to the five SCOTUS judges who voted for the overturn of Roe. In her sentiment, Rodrigo called out the six justices that voted for life by name and said “we hate you.” Tasteful.
Sunday’s performance was marked by the beast. Stallion called her home state of Texas “embarrassing” for embracing life and establishing abortion bans. “My body, my f**king choice,” Stallion encouraged the crowd to yell.
Eilish dedicated her song “Your Power” to the SCOTUS judges who voted for Roe’s overturn. She also said that it was a “really dark day for women in the U.S.” Yes, very sad for people who enjoy murdering babies.
Lamar added the lyrics “godspeed for women’s rights” to the end of his song “Savior.” We have said it so many times, NOBODY HAS RIGHT TO KILL A CHILD INNOCENT.
Lorde stated that women are born to objectification and control. “You wanna know a secret, girls? Your bodies were destined to be controlled and objectified since before you were born, That horror is your birthright,” she told the audience according to USA Today. She also said, “F**K the Supreme Court.” F**k must be their favorite word.
Bridgers led a chant full of explicit vocabulary and called the Supreme Court “irrelevant.” She screamed “1, 2, 3 f**k the Supreme Court,” and had the audience join in.
Other than these loonies at this weekend’s UK festival, a total of 150 celebrities and influencers signed a petition last month in opposition to the overturn of Roe. Petitions are not effective, as we know.
It’s shameful that performers and celebrities feel they have to participate in politics. It’s not easy for them to be proficient in what they know and what they don’t.
