AceShowbiz - Taraji P. Henson has publicly criticized fellow celebrities who plan to attend this year's Met Gala, an event controversially backed by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos as honorary co-chairs.

The actress, known for her role in Empire, expressed her disapproval by endorsing a social media post authored by Meredith Lynch. The post served as "a warning for celebs" to reconsider wearing ICE Out pins at the event, highlighting that Bezos is "part of the reason we're in this f-ing mess."

Meredith Lynch acknowledged that the Met Gala is a major fundraising occasion for the arts but pointed out the irony of the event being sponsored by Jeff Bezos. She noted that Bezos has previously supported Donald Trump, who has significantly cut arts funding, making the sponsorship particularly controversial.

Taraji P. Henson’s stance reflects growing concern among some public figures about the ethical implications of attending events linked to controversial sponsors. The Met Gala remains one of fashion’s biggest nights, yet the involvement of Bezos and his wife has sparked debate over the event's values and associations.

This criticism adds to ongoing discussions about the intersection of celebrity culture, philanthropy, and corporate influence in high-profile events.
