Instead of reacting positively by donating to coronavirus-related causes or using their huge platform to raise awareness about the pandemic, these celebrities draw criticism for their controversial activities.

AceShowbiz - Rita Ora not only broke one but two COVID-19 protocols in the United Kingdom. The "Fifty Shades Freed" actress was slammed online for holding a 30th birthday party with a group of friends at the Casa Cruz restaurant in Notting Hill, West London on November 20, going against government guidelines at the time.
Doubling down on the controversy, Rita flew to Bulgaria just a few days after the bash instead of doing self-isolation. As her behavior could put people surrounding her at risk, it was reported that the "Anywhere" singer was fined $13,217 (£10,000) for breaking lockdown. Rita showed remorse for breaking the rules, writing in a statement, "I'm deeply sorry for breaking the rules and in turn understand that this puts people at risk. This was a serious and inexcusable error of judgement."
