Outsiders host Rita Panahi says the Academy Awards earlier this week “proved that the public has no appetite for lectures from pampered, fringe-dwelling Leftist hypocrites”.
Ms Panahi said “the Oscars recorded the lowest ratings ever for the event” and “Hollywood can’t say they weren’t warned”.
“The celebrity class gave us more empty virtue signaling and incoherent grandstanding starting on the red carpet where Natalie Portman took a brave stand against misogyny,” she said.
“Her Christian Dior cape was embroidered with the names of eight female directors who were not nominated for an Oscar.
“This stunning and brave bit of activism was lauded by much of the adoring media… If celebrities want to preach about politics, standards of behaviour or societal ills then the least they can do is walk the talk.”
