Chrissy Teigen, the high-profile model and author, has publicly criticized the White House’s response to a recent emotional video from Selena Gomez. In the impactful clip, Gomez was brought to tears while discussing the issue of deportations in the United— a topic she carries deep personal connection to. The White House, in response, issued a statement which notably failed to address Gomez’s concerns or offer consolation to the many people facing the fear of deportation.
Teigen took to social media to vent her frustration over what she perceives as an indifferent attitude from the government toward the plight of immigrants. This has sparked intense online conversation about the topic and attracted support and solidarity from many fans and social justice advocates. Teigen’s stand has, once again, shown that celebrities can use their platforms for meaningful engagement on dire social issues.’,
