AceShowbiz - David Schwimmer, best known for his role on Friends, has publicly condemned the Wireless Festival for initially booking rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, before the event was canceled.

The actor released a statement on Instagram following the withdrawal of sponsors and the UK government's decision to ban Ye from entering the country ahead of the planned July festival.

Schwimmer praised companies that demonstrated "moral clarity," contrasting them with Wireless Festival, which he criticized for choosing to feature an artist he described as "one of the most recognizable hate-mongering bigots in the world."

As a Jewish individual, Schwimmer expressed disappointment that Wireless Festival gave Ye a prominent platform despite the rapper’s history of antisemitic remarks and public controversies over several years.

He wrote plainly, "Wireless disgraced itself," underscoring his strong disapproval of the festival’s decision.

Addressing Ye’s recent apology and attempts at reconciliation, Schwimmer dismissed them as insufficient. "An apology letter is just that, words on paper," he said. "It does not erase years of abuse."

Ye had expressed hopes to travel to London to present “a show of change” and promote “unity, peace, and love through my music.” However, Schwimmer emphasized that real accountability involves more than public statements.

"I believe in forgiveness, but it takes much more than this," he added, highlighting the need for genuine responsibility beyond words.

The actor also criticized other artists and brands that continue to associate with Ye despite his history of offensive comments.

David Schwimmer became widely known for his portrayal of Ross Geller on Friends and has since appeared in projects such as American Crime Story and Intelligence.
