Gigi Hadid is facing a huge backlash over her ‘racist video’ as she heads to China. However, she is just one of many celebs, who have been called out for their far from politically correct behaviour
The post that won Gigi Hadid the racist tag
A controversial video of Gigi Hadid, that was initially uploaded by her sister Bella in February has resurfaced, and many people are accusing her of racism. In the video, Hadid appears to be holding up a Buddha statue and many believe she is mimicking the face and eyes of the enlightened one. While it has been deleted, copies of it have resurfaced. So, when Hadid recently confirmed that she would be appearing at a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in the Chinese city of Shanghai in November, it only got her more backlash as netizens took to social media to tell Hadid she is not welcome in China. However, this is not the first time she has been accused of racist behaviour. Back in November, during the American Music Awards, she performed a controversial impression of Melania Trump, mocking her accent. The impression was not received well at the time, which led to Hadid writing an apology and posting it on Twitter.
When Kelly Osbourne got it wrong
Sometimes one may have the right intentions but words fail you, as in the case of Kelly Osbourne. In response to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s outrageously racist positions on immigration, The View co-host had this to say. While Osbourne was probably trying to refute the politician when she said, “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” Her words came across as racist and inconsiderate. The comment sparked outrage on Twitter, prompting an apology from Osbourne. She wrote on her Facebook page, “I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case, I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words, but I will not apologise for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-hearted f*cked up today. I don’t want to bullsh*t anyone with lame excuses.”
When Bieber upset his fans
Originally filmed for Bieber’s 2011 documentary Never Say Never, Bieber is sitting in a room in LA with a group of friends. The video was shot at a promotional event early in his career. The singer is seen cracking a terrible joke “Why are black people afraid of chain saws?” His punchline, repeatedly saying, “Run N****r.” The singer received a backlash from his fans. One fan even went to the extent of calling him out for his behaviour saying, “Bieber is actually disgusting. Man’s gone too far this time.” Another one posted, “Bieber – no excuse, no acceptable reason for racism. The use of the N-word is disgraceful and racism far too serious to ever be funny.”
Mel Gibson’s rant against Jews
Back in 2006, during his DUI arrest, Mel Gibson told a policeman that “Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.” In 2010, several voicemails were released of the hot-headed actor and filmmaker going postal on his ex-wife Oksana Grigorieva. In one of his rants, Gibson wished that his ex got raped by a pack of the “n” word and in another, he referred to Mexicans as “wetbacks.” All his comments obviously earned him flak from fans across the globe.
John Mayer for his stupid statement
In a candid interview with Playboy in 2010, John Mayer admitted, “My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin’ David Duke cock.”
Alec Baldwin’s big blunder
Alec Baldwin’s life seems to have come full circle from being widely despised for his racist comments to being the talk of town for his Donald Trump impression. Long before the rave reviews, Alec made some pretty stupid comments on Twitter. In a series of tweets posted in 2011, Baldwin mentioned Kanye West and Jay-Z’s song “N*ggas in Paris,” which led to a lot of backlash against him.
Paris Hilton’s faux pas
Paris Hilton’s was once hot on the social circuit so when she was quoted as saying, “I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross,” in an excerpt from Neil Strauss’s book Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead, people obviously were very upset with the heiress.
When anger got the better of Rihanna
Rihanna may be popular for her music but she too has been called for her stupid behaviour. She posted a racist photo directed towards Chris Brown’s Vietnamese girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, that referred to her as “rice cakes.” There was also a line on the remix track Birthday Cake (a duet recorded by Rihanna and Brown) that alluded to Tran’s race.
When Miley Cyrus was labelled racist
Miley Cyrus was forced to apologise for participating in a controversial group photo by pulling at the corner of her eyes to make them slanted, one way of mocking Asians.
Charlie Sheen’s brush with racism
Before his epic meltdown with the makers of Two-And-A-Half Men, Charlie Sheen made news because of his racists comments. A 2008 voicemail to his ex-wife Denise Richards contained the actor calling his wife the n-word. He can be heard saying, “You’re a coward and a liar and a f-cking n-gger alright, so f-ck you.”
