Out-of-Touch Celebrities Get Roasted Over Their Pathetic Coronavirus Reactions

Celebrities can sound very relatable until a crisis shows just how far removed they really are. During the coronavirus pandemic, that gap became impossible to ignore, especially when famous people started posting from spacious homes, private pools, and polished kitchens while everyone else was trying to make sense of shortages, lockdowns, and fear.

This story pulls together the reactions that rubbed people the wrong way, from tone-deaf messaging to the kind of public behavior that made social media roll its eyes. The frustration was not just about fame, it was about privilege showing up at exactly the wrong time.

The memes below say the rest pretty clearly.

Amen.

This is too real.

Boohoo, poor you.

Wash your hands; celebs may need a test soon.

That kind of luxury did not land well.

And while celebrities got roasted, Billy Porter’s sepsis story, including being “clinically dead for 3 days,” hits harder.

Literally a cupboard with a pen and a journal.
