Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon turn focus to ‘innocent’ children on both sides in response to war

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:28:32 GMT

A number of A-list stars have begun taking to social media to share their “heartbreak” and horror over last weekend’s attack by Hamas terrorists on Israeli communities and the escalating war in and around Gaza. But these stars seem to be trying to avoid mistakes made by Kylie Jenner, Justin Bieber and other celebrities, who posted poorly considered messages earlier in the week that were held up as examples for why the public often doesn’t want to hear from influencers and entertainers in the midst of global crisis.Indeed, it’s likely that Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Kerry Washington, among others, consulted with their teams about what they should say on social media — or if they should say anything at all. These stars all are seen as role models in American popular culture, and their reputations depend on them being seen as sensible, decent, likable. For the most part, they also tend to steer clear of controversy.LOS ANGE...
