Remember of course that while we do have freedom of speech in this country, people should also keep in mind that what they say has consequences: boycotts; being fired by your
employer, and so on. Presumably she has more than enough money to go around and this is no biggie to her. But maybe some celebs will learn a lesson from this--especially if their "gig" matters enough to them. (Much like Pepsi with Madonna and later Ludacris...)
Didn't say she was fired, just that ads with her would no longer be appearing. Sounds like she will still get paid plus, as someone pointed out, they only regret her remarks offended some customers. I see this as an important partial victory.
Note to companies that hire "stars" like her - you're next if you think we will accept this type of behaviour anymore.
I'm still boycotting even if it means giving up Country Crock.
i hate when celebrities have too much influence to know what to do about it. so they use it for their own personal gain. they end up talking about things they should keep to themselves
