Webdesk: After Brad Pitt launched his gin brand at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Emma Watson criticised for supporting him.
The 2014 UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and Harry Potter actress slammed for backing a “abuser.”
Fans of the actress criticised her for being a “feminist” and still swooning over the Babylon star, accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
Pitt allegedly “physically and verbally assaulted” Jolie and their children during their 2016 flight.
After reposting a photo of Pitt and his partner marketing his gin on her Instagram story, Watson was called a “hypocrite” who values “money” before women’s rights.
“@thegardener_gin Brad, from Chablis!” Watson responded on Pitt’s company’s article.
Emma Watson criticised for supporting “abuser” Brad Pitt
“Do you also have an annoying younger brother obsessed with niche beverages?” @alex.s.watson,” she added.
Her brother said, “First rule of French gin club is: you DO tell everyone about French gin.”
One Reddit commenter criticised Watson for supporting Brad Pitt, asking, “Are there any women in Hollywood with a backbone to stand up for their fellow women? I’m exhausted.”
Another said, “A ‘feminist’ supporting a domestic abuser.”
“She calls herself the biggest feminist and makes herself the face of feminism and then goes out and supports a dirtbag abuser,” another said of Watson. “What a [expletive] hypocrite.”
“How disappointing. ‘I’m a feminist absolutely, but if there’s money in the middle… not so much,’ Emma Watson says.
“Collaborating with/promoting a man who has been credibly accused of domestic abuse as the United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador since 2014 is definitely a huge pivot from how she has presented herself,” one wrote.
