Madonna Called Out For Her 'Privilege' After Bizarre Bathtub Video Calling Global Pandemic 'The Great Equalizer'

Madonna Called Out For Her 'Privilege' After Bizarre Bathtub Video Calling Global Pandemic 'The Great Equalizer'

Celebrities are finding their actions under intense scrutiny in light of current events.

The Gal Godot-led cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" resulted in mostly backlash.

Now Madonna started another wave via her Instagram.


The video begins with Madonna sitting in a milky bathtub with rose petals.

Regarding the pandemic, she says:

"It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are. How smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell. It's the great equalizer and what's terrible about it is what's great about it."

Ironically, calling it the great equalizer while she sat in a very pretty bathroom in a well-shot bathtub did not go over well with fans.





The message feels tone deaf against the backdrop of the current situation.

Hospitals are close to exhausting supplies and equipment—including life-saving items such as ventilators. Beds are running short and folks are out of work and in danger of losing their homes.

Madonna is in a bathtub in her house under no danger of eviction or starvation saying "it's made us all equal."





Reportedly, the 61-year-old singer is self-isolating in London alongside her boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams and daughter Mercy James.





Time will tell whose gestures will be well received and who will draw public condemnation.

RFK Jr. Sparks Outrage After Announcing 'Disease Registry' To Track Autistic Americans

Kennedy Jr. told the press about his plans to find the "environmental factors" causing a nonexistent autism epidemic.

On Tuesday, CBS News reported the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was creating a national autism registry to track diagnosed Americans as part of a plan to collect patient data without patient consent or knowledge.

White House Ripped After Making Bonkers Earth Day Claim About Trump And 'Science'

President Donald Trump is a pretty well-known science denier so it's perhaps no surprise that the White House was soundly mocked after sharing a press release for Earth Day on Tuesday claiming that "We Finally Have a President Who Follows Science"—which is quite something given so many federal workers from health and science agencies have been fired in recent weeks.

The White House claimed that Trump is "leveraging environmental policies rooted in reality to promote economic growth while maintaining the standards that have afforded Americans the cleanest air and water in the world for generations."
