It’s probably reasonable to conclude that celebrities have a tenuous relationship with the world. On the other hand, the events of yesteryear have made it very clear how far out of touch these celebrities really are. Celebrities got together to produce an uplifting song while the entire world was coping with several lockdowns and scrambling to get a backup of toilet papers. If this is not the height of ignorance on their part, then what is? Well, it doesn’t end there. Come along with us as we look at the instances in which prominent personalities and celebrities revealed that they had no concept of what it is like to live in reality!
Gal Gadot’s Cover Of Imagine
First, we have to discuss Gal Gadot’s cover for “Imagine.” At the beginning of the year 2020, when people all over the globe were still trying to adjust to the new standard, this famous Israeli actress found a solution. The celebrity believes that the average person would be inspired and affected by a compilation of several multi-millionaire celebs singing John Lennon’s song “Imagine” word by word.
This caused a great deal of annoyance among “regular people,” who thought that this peculiar action was patronizing them. Despite many people calling out how pointless the video was, Gal Gadot did not back down from her original plan.
Relief Fund By Bobby Flay
Over twenty eateries may be found scattered throughout the United States that famous chef Bobby Flay owns. But despite having enormous wealth and fortune, this celebrity chef established a relief fund to assist the employees of his several restaurants. It was for those who could not get their pay due to the special circumstances of 2020. The problem is that this celebrity chef is said to have a net worth of sixty million dollars.
The well-known chef eventually blocked the various social media accounts, bringing attention to his enormous fortune. Even though the celebrity has said he would double contributions to a total of $100,000, we are still confused as to why he cannot pay his staff.
Kendall Jenner Cutting Cucumbers
We often joke about how most celebrities cannot get the most basic tasks done, but Kendall Jenner’s recent viral moment truly puts that thought into perspective. In episode 5 of “The Kardashians,” the model drops by her mother’s new house after missing her birthday party. While talking to Kris, Kendall goes to the refrigerator and brings a cucumber to prepare herself a snack. She comments that cutting a cucumber is easy and rebuffs her mother’s offer to have the chef cut it up.
The result was a hilarious clip of the model struggling to cut the vegetable.. Social media flooded with responses to her failing to cucumber. One user went as far as calling it “tragic.”
Amber Heard’s Charity Debacle
May 2022 had the whole world buzzing about the infamous defamation lawsuit Johnny Depp had pinned on his ex-wife, Amber Heard. During the trial, Heard accepted in court that $7 million from her divorce settlement was not, in fact, donated to charity, as she had testified before. She claimed to have done this twice previously but also stated that Depp’s lawsuit stopped her from completing her promise. The ACLU’s top operating officer, Terence Doughtery, testified that promised charity generally arrives in portions, and Heard had never complied with a payment schedule.
Heard had only donated $1.3 million and stopped sending checks entirely after December 2018. In contrast, Depp gave $100,000 while another $350,000 was donated by Fidelity Investments.
