Hollywood has officially distanced itself from Kanye West following his latest series of controversial statements and offensive merchandise sales.
The 47-year-old rapper sparked outrage after making anti-Semitic remarks and reportedly selling a swastika-emblazoned shirt on his Yeezy website. His actions led to swift fallout, with several industry figures, including his own agent, cutting ties with him.
Celebrities such as Elon Musk, David Schwimmer, and Isla Fisher have publicly condemned West, while AI-generated content circulating online has depicted Hollywood A-listers flipping him off and wearing t-shirts with explicit messages against him.
Critics argue that West’s behavior is not only offensive but also indicative of deeper issues, with some urging him to seek mental health support.
Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson has spoken out against the misuse of AI after an unauthorized video featuring her likeness emerged as part of the backlash against West. “It’s a misuse of AI. I’m not part of this. They make it seem so real, but it’s completely fake,” she stated.
Regardless of the AI controversy, many in Hollywood believe West is finally facing consequences for his inflammatory rhetoric.
