We’re tracking the conservative culture clash with woke Hollywood hypocrites to keep you up to date on who’s winning and who we hate.
Here’s what happened today:
Backlash
Ireland Baldwin had choice words for conservative pundit Candace Owens after she criticized her father Alex for fatally shooting a crewmember on his film set.
“You are the most disgusting, human, cancerous human being I’ve ever come across,” Baldwin wrote on her Instagram Story. “Regardless of your foul opinions most of the time, the fact that you would disrespect the life of a woman who was accidentally and tragically killed…Shame on you.”
In a since deleted tweet, Owens wrote that “Alec Baldwin spent 4 years dedicated to painting Donald Trump and his supporters as evil murderers.”
‘What has happened to Alec would be an example of poetic justice if it weren’t for the actual innocent people that were murdered by him,” she continued. “Pray for their families. So sad.”
Ireland reacted with fury to the tweets. “Be a republican. Be unvaccinated. I don’t give a f**k. There are plenty of republican values that I support and plenty of liberal ones that I support as well,” she posted. “But one f***ing thing I find myself doing is being RESPECTFUL.”
‘But we aren’t debating masks and vaccines and abortion and trans rigthts here…a woman’s life was lost. Your tweets, lack of information, and ignorance are hurting people,’ the model concluded.
Capital Gains
Tesla CEO Elon Musk slammed Democrats for proposing a tax on unrealized capital gains, in an attempt to generate more than $200 billion in IRS revenue from billionaires.
Musk was cc’d on a tweet that contained a sample letter of what Americans who oppose the tax could send to their elected officials.
“I expect you to oppose the Wyden proposal to tax unrealized capital gains. Although the proposal targets billionaires and not myself, the government of elected representatives have a track record of scope creep when writing new taxes,” the letter read.
“I anticipate that any new unrealized capital gains taxes will slowly make their way down to middle class retirement investments over the next several years,” the sample document continued. “It will start with billionaires, then eventually millionaires, then the modest investments will get hit possibly within a decade.“
“Exactly,” replied the world’s richest person. “Eventually they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you.”
Cast
Former “Dynasty” star John James will play President Joe Biden in an upcoming film that explores Hunter Biden’s shady business deals, addiction issues, and hard partying lifestyle.
“I’m going to announce that I’m playing the role of Joe Biden in the upcoming film ‘My Son Hunter,’” James shared in a video. “I am especially excited to be working with a wonderful actor, Laurence Fox, who’s going to be playing my son, Hunter. We have some interesting scenes together.”
“The script has it all,” he continued. “Money, power, greed, sex, drugs and alcohol. That kind of reminds me of ‘Dynasty.’ Anyway, I hope you get a chance to watch our movie. I know you’ll enjoy it.”
Encouraged
“WAP” rapper Cardi B said that she was taking a step back from sharing her political views because she was “tired of getting bullied by the Republicans and also getting bashed by the same people I was standing up for.”
Instead of bashing her, National GOP spokesperson Paris Dennard encouraged Cardi to keep voicing her opinion, because if she doesn’t, he believes that young people would follow her lead and refuse to share their own political beliefs over fear of rebuke from both parties.
He also insisted that having polarizing views won’t necessarily equate to getting canceled, and pointed out that other rappers including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne didn’t lose sales for expressing their controversial opinions.
No Go
A new series about comedian Joan Rivers’ life is not going forward after WandaVision actress Kathryn Hahn, a catholic, was hired to portray the Jewish star.
Comedian Sarah Silverman said that casting Hahn was like a white actor putting on “blackface.”
“One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile [a non-Jew] playing Joan Rivers correctly would be doing what is actually called “Jewface,”” she said on her podcast. “When a non-Jew portrays a Jew with the Jewishness front and center, often with makeup or changing of features, big fake nose, all the New York–y or Yiddish-y inflection.”
The series was reportedly not cancelled due to Silverman’s comments, but because producers had not secured Rivers’ life rights from daughter Melissa Rivers, who did not grant permission to use any of her mother’s jokes.
Aborigine Eyes
Supermodel Elle Macpherson sparked controversy in a makeup tutorial for Vogue, when she commented that “My eyes are almost black; that’s the Aborigine in me… Being seven generations Australian, they don’t reflect light the same way blue eyes do.”
Though the video was re-edited to remove the remarks, some viewers had already seen the content and leaked Instagram DM’s between the model and Indigenous influencer Tahlia Warren-Brand got heated.
Talia posted an article about Macpherson’s video and wrote: “Good morning/afternoon to everyone except @ellemacpherson.”
Macpherson replied, “You are such a beautiful girl,” to the post, but the influencer shot back, “I said everyone EXCEPT you…”
The model was not deterred by the hostility and reportedly replied, “I saw – and there’s no mistake in my text – Your images on IG are beautiful.”
“It’s the Aboriginal in me,” Talia snarked back. “I never meant to be offensive…” Macpherson simpered. “Regardless it still was and is offensive,” Talia wrote. “I hear you and respect you,” the model concluded.
