It was yet another indication that the next four years could see an endless stream of moral signaling and outrage from both sides of the political spectrum over any real or perceived insult. Take, for example, the conservative hand-wringing over Mike Pence being booed by some audience members at Hamilton on Friday this past weekend, and the cast’s well-phrased admonishment at the end of the show. Now more than ever, it seems as if people are viewing any attempts at comedy as excuses to voice their outrage or rant about the injustice of everything-and it’s not just lefty college students who are easily offended. Greg Gutfeld, former host of Fox News’ Red Eye, snarked: “u made fun of a woman’s eastern european accent! hysterical! so-Africans and Mexicans tomorrow?”
There were, of course, plenty of Trump supporters and other conservatives among the faux-outraged who called out liberal hypocrisy. One user wrote that she’s “not a Trump supporter in any way but publicly humiliating for having an accent? #NOTOK.” Another asked how Hadid would feel “if someone made fun of your dad’s Muslim accent? But making fun of Melania’s accent and face is ok?” While some cheered the model on Twitter, others were appalled by her impression’s apparent offensiveness. Sporting an exaggerated “duckface” and Eastern European accent, Hadid nodded to Melania’s plagiarism scandal: “I love my husband President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia.” Hadid was promptly skewered on social media following the broadcast.Two weeks after the election, in a sign that we may well have entered a post-humor age, supermodel Gigi Hadid was shamed on Twitter for her brief, mocking impersonation of first lady-elect Melania Trump, which she delivered as co-host of the American Music Awards with actor and comedian Jay Pharaoh on Sunday night. "I love my husband.President Barack Obama.and our children, Sasha and Malia," Hadid said.
Respectfully, Gigi."ĭuring Sunday's broadcast Hadid puckered her lips and spoke with a thick foreign accent while taking shots at Trump for her alleged plagiarizing misstep during the Republican National Convention. I apologize to anyone that I offended and have only the best wishes for our country. I believe Melania understands show business and the way shows are written and run. "I too have been the center of a nationally televised comedy skit that poked fun at my actions and was able to find the humor in it. I removed or changed anything in the script that I felt took the joke too far and whether or not you choose to see it, what remained was done in good humor and with no bad intent," she wrote on Twitter. "I was honored to host the AMA's last night and to work with some of the most respected writers in the business.
