to be fair she protested correctly. she made her statement without ruining someone night or destroy a historical or piece of property.

If Lady Gaga did that she would be literally praised 🙄

[nigel]

She is a reminder that entertainment isn't that important. What is important is freedom.
Whoever you are, you are an amazing woman .

[terenasimons]

There's that crazy female security guard again.

[mothershoe]

She protested silently. The only thing that was ruined was her dress. Not even the red carpet was affected.

[AWlpsSHOW]

They where way too harsh on her. She didn't hurt anyone or caused havoc. This was a very peaceful and powerful protest.
She honestly looked like she was part of the red carpet due to her dress.

[Chestnutcow]

She slayed that look though, they didn’t even realize she was protesting until after the blood came out

[MsFourLeafClover]

Freedom speech or freedom of expression.She was not hurting anyone ❤❤❤

Great message on dangerous fake beauty industry

[ShabazzTBL]

They acted like they wanted to hurt her.

[optic_reviews]

She has the right to protest. I stand with her.

Wait, isn't that the same Security Guard that Womanhandled Kelly Rowland lol

[officialfayomi]

Protester: I'm doing my job
security: I'm doing my job

[RANGOArts]

They were afraid the red carpet would be stained by red dye 😂😂😂

[hermanmiller]

Is this we called democracy. Freedom to express?

[HXLproductions]

This is how to actually protest a cause instead of disrupting normal citizens lifes.

She is Ukrainian for all the people saying she should be protesting for Palestine and the rest of the world. She should be standing up for her people first. And before anyone comments, my husband is Palestinian. I showed him this video and the comments and he said of course she is going to stand up for her country and her people first. She isn't responsible for the media's representation of Ukraine or Palestine or anywhere else. For all we know her family was killed in the war. That is what he said. People need to start looking at things from other people's points or view for once. These comments are not a good look.

Why are they moving her away so aggressively...jesus christ, it was just a little artistic self expression and a clear anti war message. Carpet is red anyway...
