00:00Lizzo has shared her thoughts on cancel culture.
00:02Quote, This may be a random time to say this, but it's on my heart.
00:05Cancel culture is appropriation.
00:06The singer tweeted on Sunday.
00:08There was real outrage from truly marginalized people, and now it's become trendy, misused,
00:12and misdirected.
00:13I hope we can phase out of this and focus our outrage on the real problems.
00:17Lizzo isn't the first celebrity who has addressed the topic.
00:19In 2021, Dakota Johnson called cancel culture a downer.
00:22Quote, It's just really sad.
00:24She said in reference to her former co-stars Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, and Shia LaBeouf.
00:28I do believe that people can change.
00:30I want to believe in the power of a human being to change and evolve and get help and
00:34to help other people.
00:35Kevin Hart also spoke out against it in 2021, saying he had been canceled three or four
00:39times over his career.
00:40Quote, If somebody has done something truly damaging, then absolutely a consequence should
00:44be attached.
00:45But when you're just talking about nonsense, what are you talking about?
