It is no longer a new thing in the entertainment industry for certain artists to be boycotted by the public. In the world, there have been many stars who have been turned away by the audience just because of temporary statements.

Brie Larson 

In March 2019, the Oscar-winning actress rocked the global box office with the blockbuster about the first female superhero of the Marvel universe. Besides the reputation of the work, Brie Larson was once called upon by the audience to boycott the film because of her supposedly arrogant and excessive statements. The star born in 1989 believes that critics are unfair because “there are too many white men” participating in film reviews. The actress then proposed that more film commentators and journalists of color should contribute so that the criticism of the film becomes more objective and multifaceted.

The incident began to explode when Brie Larson’s statement was steered towards the 30-year-old star intentionally criticizing white men or, more broadly, attacking race. This received countless criticisms from the audience, causing a part of the public to call for a boycott and attack Captain Marvel on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes . Before its release, this billion-dollar blockbuster received more than 10,000 comments from netizens. According to statistics, only 60% of the audience wanted to enjoy the movie, significantly lower than the 99% of Avengers: Endgame . The incident made Brie Larson’s image as well as the film’s reputation ugly in the eyes of many people. However, luckily for Captain Marvel , this masterpiece still quickly affirmed its box office status by reaching over 1 billion USD despite mixed praise and criticism.

Liam Neeson

The same statement related to ethnic issues, but actor Liam Neeson’s story is more serious than actress Captain Marvel . Specifically, in January 2019, the male lead of the series Take n was harshly criticized by the public simply for saying: “I wanted a black guy at a bar to come and pick a fight with me and I would kill him.” It is known that the 66-year-old artist uttered this statement when asked by an Independent reporter about a friend of his who had been raped by a black man. This has caused Liam Neeson to have a grudge against black people.

However, the sharing from the actor born in 1952 became a knife that severed the emotional bond between him and the audience, and also caused Liam Neeson to have many troubles at work. The above scandal took place while the Irish actor was promoting a new movie called Cold Pursuit – an action film with a budget of up to 60 million USD and gathering a cast of famous Hollywood stars. However, the movie was delayed because the male lead was at the center of controversy. The film’s postponement not only affected the film crew’s reputation and money, but also caused negative effects among the public. Faced with severe consequences for money and reputation, Liam Neeson had to apologize to the audience.

Kim Kardashian

Kim “super butt” has always been considered one of the most controversial characters in Hollywood. Not only has she shown off her body excessively, the mother of three has repeatedly angered the public with her “shocking” statements. At a Halloween party in 2018 organized by Kendall Jenner, Kim dressed up as Pamela Anderson when this beauty attended the 1999 VMAs. However, the young guests at the party did not realize that Kanye West’s wife was playing. Whoever she transforms into makes her call them “retarded”.

Worth mentioning, this ugly moment was recorded and spread on social networks, causing Kim Kardashian to receive countless “criticisms” from netizens. In particular, parents of children with intellectual disabilities said they felt offended by the star born in 1980’s overly funny joke, especially when she is also a mother. The incident was so serious that many people called for a boycott of the infamous artist as well as her fashion and cosmetic brands.

As a star who makes a lot of money from business activities on social networks, this scandal has more or less affected the work of “super butt” Kim. After the incident, the reality TV star had to publicly apologize to the public through TMZ . “I want to apologize for what I said because it was inappropriate and insensitive to the special needs community. I always try to learn from my mistakes and am taking it seriously now.” do that. Please know that my words were not intended to be malicious and in this case using that word was just a mistake.”

Stefano Gabbana

In November 2018, the international public witnessed a fierce boycott from stars and many Chinese people towards the fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. Specifically, the Italian fashion brand was accused of racial discrimination when it let advertising models use chopsticks to eat Western dishes such as pasta, tacos, and pizza.

The incident was met with a wave of indignation from the public in a land of billions of people. However, this incident quickly turned into a rage in China just because of a screenshot of a conversation believed to be from Stefano Gabbana – one of the two founders of the above mentioned fashion company. Accordingly, this designer bluntly declared: “Without China, our brand would still live well.”

Although both Stefano Gabbana and Dolce & Gabbana later tried to clarify, apologize and even confirm that the above message was fake, Chinese people still cannot forgive the brand’s arrogance and racism. This. Domestic stars such as: Dilraba Dilmurat, Vuong Tuan Khai, Truong Tu Di, Ly Bingbing… all have moved to “break” with the fashion house. Meanwhile, stores also had to stop selling Dolce & Gabbana products because of strong opposition from customers.

The company’s products have disappeared without a trace on online retail sites such as Alibaba, JD.com and Yoox Net-A-Porter. On social networks, many Chinese people share clips and images of burning and cutting Dolce & Gabbana clothes and shoes. This scandal not only caused the company to lose its reputation in China but also cost the company a lot of money.
