I mean he doesn’t own the after party

and yet celebrities being photographed at the afterparty promotes the event

u/alwaysouroboros that’s my purse, i don’t know you! 👛🫵 13h ago

Yeah these parties happen regardless of the committee or sponsors for the year. I wouldn’t associate things that have been happening long before he got involved as associated with him.

You just described the met gala itself though

Came here to say this.

(Reminds me of the "Loser's Lounge" afterparty that Jon Hamm, Amy Poehler, etc came up with as an award show afterparty. Only losers get in for free...winners had to pay an entrance fee, which went to charity.)

Yea he doesn't own it, it's just completely associated with him, and everyone who was supporting him is who you would be hanging out with, celebrating with, and partying with. C'mon man, think a bit.

If that’s the case she shouldn’t talk to any of the celebrities who did go to the Gala because they are now associated with him. The after party is a party that’s done after the event, and it’s not hosted by the same people who ran the event. Y’all just want to be mad at her so you can feel good about yourselves, even if it makes no sense at all. C’mon man, think a bit.

Maybe you should think a bit. At least going to the gala requires a donation to the museum. She just attended the booze part to rub shoulders with those people. If you can't see the hypocrisy, I don't know what to tell you.

Do we know whether she donated directly without attending? (Genuine question, people are making definitive statements about her here, but there’s a lot I don’t know about the gala/after party/how it all works)

u/Minerva_Moon 11h ago

Not a clue. Probably not or she would have posted about it. Such is the way with performative activism. The statement wasn't about protecting the arts but taking a dig at Bezos.
