Actress Vanessa Hudgens is under fire for minimizing the coronavirus pandemic on her personal Instagram account.
As people are dying because of the virus, on Monday, Hudgens was flippant over those who lost their lives due to the virus upending the world and paralyzing the TV business in the process.
Hudgens spoke to her Instagram fans about the subject; “Um, yeah, ’til July sounds like a bunch of bulls–t. I’m sorry, but like, it’s a virus, I get it, like, I respect it, but at the same time I’m like, even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible but like, inevitable?”

Today, due to backlash from social media, she walked that statement back:
“Yesterday, I did an Instagram live and I realize today that some of my comments are being taken out of context. It’s a crazy time, it’s a crazy, crazy time and I am at home and in lockdown and that’s what I hope you guys are doing too.”
She added: “I’m sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.”

Who cares what these people think? They’re all overpaid, and overrated. They’re not going to be able to relate to someone with an average or below-average job were taking time off from work means potentially losing your home or heat and water getting shut off.
For them, it’s not being able to party, or go to some extravagant event for people like them.
Hollywood’s so-called celebrities just don’t get it!! Especially the new Hollywood. Well, maybe some of these responses will slap her back into reality?
One of the worst moves I have ever seen a celebrity make. Vanessa Hudgens almost sounds like she’s doing a skit making fun of the dumb people who don’t understand Corona, but she actually means it. She knew it too! “Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this” 😂😂😂 https://t.co/tZTj1INGG7 [6]

What people like Vanessa Hudgens don’t realize is that while they are missing Coachella, the rest of us are missing paychecks. While she struggles to stay relevant, the rest of us struggle to provide for our families. https://t.co/EMJayvg6bf [9]

Actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens embodied what some see as millennials’ blasé attitude to the coronavirus when she said quarantine measures lasting until July was too long because it was “inevitable” people would die anyway.https://t.co/6MpQj84TD1 [18]

This is why young celebs should keep their mouths shut on issues.
They’re just not “dialed in” to the real world. As a matter of fact, no celebrities are.
They should all zip it!
