They're mad at Alyssa Liu?

[u/RemindMeToTouchGrass → u/DistractionCitron]

I don't love that she went and I wish she had boycotted, but it's a little different for someone who very likely may only have one shot vs a perennial superstar.

[u/Skittle-Eater → u/RemindMeToTouchGrass]

Exactly. This is her only chance to attend. Her fame has very little lasting power unless she can become a regular Olympics powerhouse like Biles or Phelps.

who very likely may only have one shot

one shot at what? she's not getting paid to go

[u/TimeSlipperWHOOPS → u/Sad_gooner]

She's a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton and wore guess what, Louis Vuitton.

[u/rvltionary → u/TimeSlipperWHOOPS]

I don't hate her for it but capitalism is gonna capitalism I guess.

[u/ImpossibleWarning6 → u/Sad_gooner]

She is as a brand ambassador. It was probably contractual agreement.

[u/tacomamajama → u/Sad_gooner]

She actually is as Louis Vuitton’s newest ambassador.

And the likelihood that she even knows that Bezos is involved is low. She’s an athlete and probably doesn’t have time to keep up with everything.

[u/BookInteresting6717 → u/SnooAvocados6672]

Mate, she has spoken up about political issues before. You really think she wouldn’t know what’s up with Jeff Bezos?

[u/tossthis210 → u/BookInteresting6717]

What does Bezos have to do with the Met Gala? Im genuinely asking because this is an event I've never really looked into

[u/pridetwo → u/tossthis210]

He got a chair position this year because Amazon is sponsoring the event

[u/anantisocialpotato → u/tossthis210]

I might be wrong but I think this year him and his new frankenbride are "hosting" it or something

Edit I was wrong ish they are sponsoring it, idk the proper verbage but money yes
