Vanessa Hudgens has made some seriously tone-deaf comments about the Coronavirus, and is now facing the backlash for it.
Coronavirus: Vanessa Hudgens slammed for ‘heartless’ comments
Posting a highly bizarre video on social media, Vanessa fiddled with her hair as she said flippantly: “Um, yeah, ’til July sounds like a bunch of bulls–t,” she said about a potential quarantine.
“I’m sorry, but like, it’s a virus, I get it, like, I respect it, but at the same time I’m like, even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible but like, inevitable?” the 31-year-old added.
“I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this right now,” she said, backtracking.
As expected, her comments didn’t sit well with fans.
“What people like Vanessa Hudgens don’t realise is that while they are missing Coachella, the rest of us are missing paychecks. While she struggles to stay relevant, the rest of us struggle to provide for our families,” one fan wrote
Someone else wrote, “Vanessa Hudgens is losing her mind because coachella got cancelled and she doesnt know how else to stay relevant.”
“Imagine being as selfish as Vanessa Hudgens.”
Vanessa quickly clarified what she meant.
“Hey guys, yesterday I did an Instagram Live and I realised today that some of my comments are being taken out of context,” she said.
“It’s a crazy time. It’s a crazy, crazy time, and I’m at home and in lockdown and that’s what I hope you guys are doing too. In full quarantine and staying safe and sane.”
She concluded, “I don’t take this situation lightly by any means. I am home, so stay inside y’all.”
