Florence Pugh Says Palestine Support Cost Her Followers
Florence Pugh told Vanity Fair she has likely lost hundreds of thousands of followers over her support for Palestine, and said no one on her team told her to stay quiet.
Florence Pugh says her public support for Palestine has cost her a large share of her social media audience. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the actor said she has likely lost hundreds of thousands of followers over the stance.
Pugh put that support into action in September, appearing at the Together for Palestine fundraising event. The event raised more than $2 million for humanitarian organizations.
The lineup also included Gorillaz, King Krule, Brian Eno, PinkPantheress, Cat Burns, Bastille, James Blake and Sampha.
Taking part came at a cost to her schedule. Pugh said the event conflicted with production on Avengers: Doomsday.
She also said no one on her team advised her to stay quiet on the subject — a detail that suggests the decision to speak out was hers alone.
