Whoopi Goldberg shared her own financial struggles on The View after Trump's election, stating, 'I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me, too. I work for a living!' However, backlash ensued when critics pointed out her $60 million net worth, viewing her comments as disconnected from the reality of many American lives who truly live paycheck-to-paycheck.
Haley Baylee drew criticism for her extravagant Met Gala appearance, juxtaposed with images of violence in Gaza. Her 'Let them eat cake' comment resonated poorly, prompting comparisons to the elite's indifference amid tragedy. This led to the 2024 Blockout movement on social media, where users unfollowed and blocked celebrities for perceived silence on the Palestine issue, creating a digital guillotine effort against those who seemed out of touch.
