Female Celebrities Who Have Defended Each Other

Emily Ratajkowski‘s latest stand on social media once again proves why she’s the reigning queen of IDGAF . When a journalist turned to her at a New York Fashion Week party and suddenly said “Melania is a hooker”, she was having absolutely none of it. The 25-year-old model was quick to defend the first lady.

Many females in Hollywood are assigned the same fate as Trump. Hate seems to come wherever fame does. Luckily, there’s a roster of other females that refuse to let it happen. From Lady Gaga to Taylor Swift‘s squad, we’ve put together the Hollywood girls who stood by other female celebrities after getting attacked via social media.

Emily Ratajkowski

After witnessing a journalist call Melania Trump a “hooker” at a fashion week party in New York, the 25-year-old took to social media to stand up for her. Ratajkowski is intolerant of “slut-shaming”, no matter what political views another person has.

Melania Trump was grateful.

Lady Gaga

Following the hype of Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl performance also came backlash. Although the singer’s solo show included an array of dancing, singing, jumping and flipping (it was virtually flawless), people took to Twitter to insult her. Amidst the positive responses were Tweets insinuating that she had stolen Pink’s whole acrobatic routine from the 2014 Grammy Awards. Pink was quick to shut everyone down.

There were also nasty Tweets targeting Gaga’s “stomach fat”—we looked, there’s no fat there, only abs. After commenting on the issue herself, Samantha Lim also stepped in.

Nina Dobrev

People have also been attacking former Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev. Rumours have been circulating about a feud between her and Nikki Reed concerning Ian Somerhalder, Dobrev’s former boyfriend and Reed’s current husband. Reed finally put an end to the mishap with this post:

For the last few years we thought addressing any baseless rumors with silence was the best way. Besides, who wants to respond to made up stories about "friends backstabbing friends", "cheating exes", or "cast members exiting shows" on low-brow websites like hollywoodlife that are just perpetuating trends that preceded us. Yuck. I now see that silence was taken as an opportunity to fill in the blanks with even more falsities, and juicer stories, and we, yes WE, believe we have a moral responsibility to young girls to end that narrative, because at the end of all of this, those young girls are the ones who lose. Their passion and endless devotion for a tv show is being taken advantage of, replaced with feelings of anger through divisive techniques, & even worse, their minds are being shaped & molded as their view of themselves, other girls, & what those dynamics should look like are being formed. So here's to putting an end to all those fake stories of on set jealousy, betrayal, made-up-friendships lost & women hating women. Because at the end of the day, that's what this is about: teaching girls that you have to hate other girls only breeds a generation of women who believe you have to hate other women. And that's what these magazines, websites and blogs don't understand. That is the harmful unintended consequence of their bullshit stories and we have a moral responsibility to fix that. Let's turn this page together, as we all walk into the next chapter peacefully. And finally, let's use this as an example of how important it is to stop this trend of writing horrible headlines about women, painting us as bitter, angry, insecure, heartbroken, childless, feuding, backstabbing monsters because whether we want to admit it or not, it changes the way all women view themselves. And shame on these websites for now targeting an even younger demographic, instilling this at an earlier age when girls are even more susceptible, more vulnerable and more malleable. When we write these headlines we teach hate. I've seen it firsthand. Let's shift what we put into the universe starting now, & hopefully we will start to see a shift in the way we treat each other & view ourselves❤

Kim Kardashian

Gaga isn’t the first woman in Hollywood to be body shamed. Following an unclothed selfie Kim Kardashian posted in 2016, the star received heat from tons of people, including other celebrities like Chloe Moretz and Bette Midler. A furious Emily Ratajkowski, along with other celebs, backed up Kardashian.

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep was a huge star in the 2017 Golden Globes by taking down Donald Trump in her powerful acceptance speech. In the speech, she spoke about him using his position to bully others, to which Trump quickly responded with, “Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…..” But no one let him get away with it.

Taylor Swift & Squad

Everyone knows that the Taylor Swift squad is elite. After the huge feud between Swift and Kanye West in 2016 regarding a song he wrote mentioning the singer, everything came tumbling down. Taylor responded that she didn’t approve of the lyrics and West disagreed, resulting in a ton of backlash geared toward Swift. Obviously Swift’s squad had to step in.

Girl power is a constant theme here and we can get on board with it!
