Perhaps driven by their overwhelming emotions, lack of knowledge or simply ignorance, some famous persons have landed in hot water for making controversial statements regarding COVID-19.

AceShowbiz - Evangeline Lilly wasn't just complaining about quarantine, but she refused to comply to the federal stay-at-home order. Showing her defiant attitude, the "Ant-Man and the Wasp" star shared an Instagram post about her dropping her children off at their activities, saying it was "business as usual." Responding to her fans' concerns and judgmental comments, the 40-year-old actress said, "Some people value their lives over freedom, some people value freedom over their lives. We all make our choices."
Despite her stubborn response, the "Lost" alum later had a change of heart about how to best deal with the situation. Days later, she returned to her social media page to convince her fans that she's doing her part in flattening the curve. "I am writing you from my home where I have been social distancing since Mar 18th - when social distancing was instituted in the small community where I am currently living," she wrote, explaining that at the time she made her controversial post, the stay-at-home order had not been applied in the small community where she's living.
