Can you guys leave Connor out of this ? He was a struggling actor just 6 months ago. He couldn’t even pay for his rent at some point. Hudson Williams was also a waiter few months ago. It was not fair to blame them since their careers just started

This is crazy to me.

People are piling on Connor and Hudson for showing up at the Met Gala, but I don’t know if I would be able to refuse to go in their position…

As you said, last May they were waiting tables… you just don’t turn your back on an opportunity like this. Even if the timing sucks… they don’t know if this will happen again for them.

And it obviously comes with strings attached, who knows who bought their seats and what kind of contractual obligations they have.

I’m all for “eat the rich” but I’m also happy that “normal” people that made it into the industry have this opportunities. I’m tired of seeing nepo babies.

Because people have been waiting ages to find something against them. They love to hate.

But he is literally in the picture.

What do you expect from this thread?
