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.
Yeah, I’m on a roll this morning...........must be the hail and thunder that kept me up.....waiting for all of the pistons to start firing, any minute now.........I’m a bag hag myself, and was getting excited that perhaps there might be a new Russian designer on the scene....;-)
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!!
ROFL
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...
LOL! Very dangerous. . .
LOL!
Well said! (#5)
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?
$100,000? Haile H. Selassie!
“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...
I like her.
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.
