Javier Bardem shares petition to remove Pink as UNICEF ambassador
by Juliet La Sala · The Washington TimesOscar-winning actor Javier Bardem is helping circulate a petition to remove pop singer Pink as a UNICEF ambassador.
Mr. Bardem shared several posts Monday on Instagram encouraging people to sign a Change.org petition to remove Pink as an ambassador over her sharing a social media post criticizing rapper Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” message on Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour.
Pink shared a post from an account critical of Macklemore’s onstage comments, saying Jewish concert-goers were blindsided by his political statements at a New Jersey show.
The shared post said Macklemore accused Israel of a “false genocide” and turned the event into “a political nightmare against the Jewish state.”
Pink responded to criticism of her by sharing memes, including one saying “Being liked by everyone is a clown’s job.”
UNICEF is a United Nations agency that provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children around the world. Pink has been one of its ambassadors for more than 10 years.
