Celebrities Getting Slammed On Social Media During The Protests

The killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police prompted swift response from the Black Lives Matter movement through nationwide protests. While many celebrities have used their platforms to demand justice, these are the celebs who are getting slammed on social media for their responses. Reality TV personality and former The Hills star Stephanie Pratt stepped directly on a social media landmine when her first response to the May 2020 Black Lives Matter protests was about looters. But we're not just talking about a general "looting is bad" take, we're talking about taking to Twitter with a call to arms as demonstrators marched through her native Southern California. She wrote in a now-deleted tweet, "Shoot the looters, using this tragedy as their excuse to rob and burn all of our towns down. Anyone else sobbing watching their town being burned down? Where the f--- is the national guard, Santa Monica is burning!!!!!" In swift social media backlash, people not only called her comments dangerous, but also called out her apparent hypocrisy over "looting." According to Page Six, Pratt was arrested in Hawaii back in 2006 for shoplifting $1,300 worth of merchandise from a Neiman Marcus store, and was ultimately charged with second-degree theft.
