Following the Met Gala, several celebrities have faced backlash from the public for multiple reasons. Either for unimportant matters such as their dresses not being up to par with the Met Gala, their dresses not following the theme, or more important matters such as them turning a blind eye to the issues happening in the world at the moment, specifically Gaza, Palestine.
Several celebrities facing backlash include the TikToker Haley Baylee, and even the photographers and journalists at work that day are facing some sort of backlash. The internet has now decided to cancel every celebrity in existence who has not spoken out on the Palestine issue or helped in some way.
What Did Haley Baylee Do?

Popular TikToker Haley Baley went viral on the 6th of May for posting herself to a sound that was supposedly by created Marie Antoinette before the French Revolution. This triggered a backlash from social media as it felt very out of touch, considering the issues happening in Gaza right now.
The original sound was supposedly “Let them eat Brioches” and was said by Marie Antoinette when her people, the peasants were basically starving to death due to the inflation of prices of food. This was caused by the fact that France’s entire budget at the time was going toward the colonic of the entire world. This caused the government to keep increasing taxes which then led to inflation and leading to the French Revolution.
What Exactly went down?

Haley Baylee using this sound at the entrance of the Met Gala felt very out of touch and reality especially because at that same entrance, there were protesters who supported the cause at Gaza and wanted Influencers and celebrities to help considering the influence that they hold in todays world. It also affected the public because it felt like a personal jap to the people of Gaza who like the French peasants do not have anything to eat and are starving to death.
The influencer got home the evening of that day to celebrate reaching 10 million followers, which was cut shut by people on social media as they have now decided to cancel her. She took a video to TikTok explaining to the people that she wasn’t very educated on the issue and that she only used that sound because she wore a Marie Antionette dress but this only angered people more as they believed she was clearly lying and even if she wasn’t, that was worse.
The video where Haley lip-synced to the Marie Antionette sound has now been removed, leaving only her apology video which has gotten approximately 15.5 million views, 524 thousand likes, and 26.6 thousand comments.
How Does This Affect Other Celebrities?

Haley Baylee’s video served as a catalyst as well as fuel to the anger of the public as people started to realize that the Met Gala was simply a distraction from the happenings at Gaza. The public also believes that more Celebrities than others have not spoken on the issues of Palestine, leaving them to believe they are also out of touch with reality.
A TikToker made mention of the price of the Met Gala tickets, which go for about $75,000 dollars per person. They proceeded to add that that money was more than the amount their family survived on every year and that the amount could rescue a lot of people in Palestine if only celebrities weren’t so selfish with the money they worked for. And although Haley didn’t pay for the ticket as she was an interviewer at one of the Met Gala hotels, she was still the main person to receive backlash
As of this current moment, people have started to unfollow celebrities such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Haley Baylee, Camila Cabello, and any other who hasn’t made a notable donation or used their platform for the people in Gaza. Some fans find this situation funny such as popular Nigerian influencer Maraji who wonders why people are forcing influencers to boycott various brands as well as unfollow celebrities who don’t actively support Palestine.
Maraji called them hypocrites as some of these fans aren’t boycotting in real life and they aren’t even donating themselves. Why should celebrities like Haley be forced to give up money they worked incredibly hard enough for just to make the public happy? And why do celebrities have to broadcast their help before people know they helped?
Regardless of the situation online, people in Gaza still face danger while trying to escape. So what do you think? is cancel culture the way to go about it?
