As the daughter of one of Hollywood's most prolific actor/directors, and star of realty TV show Mrs. Eastwood & Company chronicling the lives of her extended family, Francesca Eastwood is well used to being in the eye of the storm.

But Clint Eastwood's 18-year-old daughter is on the receiving end of vicious public outcry after a photographic stunt with her artist boyfriend Tyler Shields backfired.

Eastwood and Shields - known for his work with video portraits and celebrity photography - decided to publicly demolish a $100,000 crocodile Hermès Birkin bag by setting it on fire before taking a chainsaw to it, all in the name of art.

For some reason, Judas Iscariot’s famous line came to mind:

“Why was this not sold and the money given to the poor?”

Liberal heads would explode at the thought.

Oh, and I got a pair of those Channel sunglasses in a border town on the Rio Grande a few years ago....that’s what happens when you shop after margaritas.

Better to be thought a fool than to cut up a hand bag and remove all doubt.

say what you will about killing animals, but it was a further waste of having killed an animal for no good reason

I bet taking shoes away from a gator is dangerous. But I think taking a purse away from a female gator is way more dangerous!!

"Imagine what it must be like having your 82 year old father come to your high school graduation."

Imagine what it must be like having an 18-year-old daughter giving you the finger in public by burning a $100,000 purse. Because that's his money...

What is $100,000.00 to someone of multimillion $ monetary wealth? Just another expense.

The fact he gave his daughter a $100K handbag says something about his “parenting” and whether or not he is well-based, doesn’t it?

“Take off the Hermes label, and the handbag is only worth $500.”

What makes a handbag worth more than $20.00? (Don’t answer that, I don’t care)
The “ladies” in my “hood” just use those cloth shopping bags. I think they retail for about a Dollar.

I make a point of never spending more on a handbag than how much money will be in it. My current one was bought at a church sale for $2.50.

sounds like Clint should have spent a little less time kickin’ a*s on the streets of San Francisco and a little more kicking some at home...

You think taking a purse from a gator is dangerous, try taking one away from Bwaney Fwank!

BF bought me a fake Pravda at the flea market for $10 (he actually thought it was real!).

Ten dollars for a newspaper?! And a fake newspaper at that? (I'm going to guess "Prada" here, not that I have any personal experience whatsoever with the label.)

Only a Leftist could intentionally and wastefully destroy something of value and call it ‘art.’

That’s what they do - worship death and destruction.
