Beyoncé filmed an alternative video for ‘halo’ that was shared in 2010 + held a darker, more complex ‘on the run’-esque storyline she’s seemingly fond of. ultimately it was scrapped in favor of the one we know given this eerie visual + angelic melody were a mass juxtaposition
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
From a PR perspective, this is really not something you say this early in your career, especially when you’re actively trying to break into the mainstream. The fact that multiple people beyond the stylist have already come forward with their own horror stories about them makes it even more baffling.
Wait I was expecting crazy things out of this video but they're actually just admitting that they've had their rude moments but they're just trying to be forward about their art and the direction they want to go in and higher ups take that as disrespect?
