"It doesn't matter how much money you give away, tweeting about buying an $88,000 purse in the midst of a pandemic where people are skipping meals and terrified that they'll be evicted is deeply insensitive and unnecessary. She chose to tweet it out." "No need to get offended by people saying you could use the money to help people. If you can spend $88,000 on a purse right now, that's your right of course but you're missing the point. Your tweet just felt like a drop kick to many hurting right now. Maybe next time just ask family." "People are out here hurting. Can’t buy food or pay their rent, and you are seriously talking about a purse for that kind of money. Why not just donate it to your fans. We are the reason why you have that money to waste." "Please delete this tweet; it is beyond tone-deaf. While I do not begrudge your ability to spend 88k on a purse, it's quite an affront to people who don't have .88 cents to spend on a hamburger. Do better."
