She makes one little comment let them eat at the Met Gala, which cost $775,000 per ticket and $300,000 per table, but now everybody wants to cancel all the celebrities. Stop it! Well let them eat cake. That was the clear message from the Met Gala last night. As the real world deals with a brutal War, a deadly pandemic, and soaring inflation, well, it looked like a simple and innocent Tik Tok from the Met Gala has started one of the big movements against celebrities and influencers the world has ever seen. Loves, people have had enough and have decided to block everyone from TikTokers like Charlie Deo to celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. Now you might be thinking, what's the big deal if people decide to block celebrities? Well, turns out it is, and in this video, I will tell you why every influencer and celebrity with a blue check mark is freaking out at the moment.
Wait a minute, why are people blocking me? I've lost thousands of followers. What is this all about? Now, to completely understand this whole drama and where things all went south, we have to go back to this year's Met Gala. The Met Gala is one of the most luxurious and prestigious events in the world. So it comes as no surprise that it attracts celebrities, influencers, and all types of rich people. People who attend this event tend to dress up with all sorts of unique clothes which are often tailor-made for that event alone. However, just being famous isn't enough for a person to attend the Met Gala. The event is one of the most exclusive in the world, and only people who are considered big and culturally relevant are invited.
Event now this year was no different. The Met Gala was full of people with blue check marks all up and down the red carpet. Y'all, even the people interviewing the celebrities are celebrities themselves. Now, one of the people who was tasked with covering the Met Gala was Haley. Haley is a former model and a huge influencer who has over 22 million followers across all her platforms. Haley's job at the Met Gala was pretty fun and she got to meet different celebs as they made their way to the Met Gala. Now, of course, being one of the biggest influencers at the event, it was natural for Haley to create content to hype up the event, and she did. Amongst all the videos and pictures of the event, Haley uploaded what seemed like just another fun influencer video.
Anyways, when Marie was told that her people were starving and didn't have enough to eat, she replied by saying "let them eat cake." Now, when people heard this, they said enough is enough, and they stormed the palace and had her dethroned permanently. Now, fast forward to 2024 where Haley dressed as Marie Antoinette at the Met Gala and used those infamous words at an event where rich people spend 75K just for one event while there are other people who can't afford a house or food. Naturally, Haley quickly became the modern Marie Antoinette and accidentally triggered what is now referred to as the blockout cake. That was an interesting choice by your marketing and PR team. They finally said let them eat cake out loud. You might have just unlocked the rage of millions of people, and I would suggest looking into how that story ends.
So, I just got home from the Met Gala after-party. I watched the Met Gala coverage from my couch, meta after-parties. I went home. Met Gala after-parties. Y'all, in a different scandal. I think Haley's apology would have been enough, but this time it wasn't. Haley's video sparked outrage, not just at Haley, but the backlash spread to influencers and celebrities all over the internet. Loves, people's anger shifted from Haley to every rich person with a blue checkmark. Loves, people are now angry at celebrities because they received so much power and attention from the people who follow them.
Here's part two of Aista Celebration you should be blocking this week, with obvious reasons unless you've been living under a rock. Okay, next on The Chopping Block is J-Lo because not only has she refused to speak up on the multiple gids happening right now, her attitude at The Met was absolutely repulsive. What are tonight? And I think this brings a fantastic emphasis on the fact that people will literally jump hurdles for these celebrities and will try to defend them to Kingdom Come. And yet, this is exactly how they would treat you if you gave them the chance.
