Astroworld Dior Kylie Jenner Travis Scott

TRAVIS SCOTT’S PERFECT WORLD IS FALLING APART

Just when it seemed that Travis Scott was successfully following in the Kardashian entrepreneurial footsteps, Astroworld happened. The November concert tragedy left ten people dead and hundreds injured while rapper Travis Scott and the band played on. Even the Kardashians (his girlfriend is Kylie) can’t help him now – cancel culture has begun. The much-feared cancel culture has expanded from mainly sexual abuse to bad behavior of all kinds. Dior “indefinitely postponed” their Cactus Jack Dior line of products in partnership with Scott that was set to be launched next month. Nike nixed a sneaker collaboration with Scott and Anheuser-Busch discontinued their Cacti hard seltzer deal with Scott. Will McDonald’s be next? Travis is currently busy juggling dozens of Astroworld lawsuits- and probably begging Kris Jenner for advice…

Award Cancel Culture Film Festival Johnny Depp

JOHNNY DEPP: AWARDS YES – JOBS NO!

Despite being accurately described as a “wife beater,” Johnny Depp,58, got an honorary Outstanding Contribution award at the San Sebastian Film Festival this week. Before the ceremony Johnny, who’s been griping that Hollywood blackballed him, ominously declared “Nobody is safe from cancel culture!” Naturally, women’s domestic abuse charities complained loudly that the film honor is disrespectful of abuse survivors. Film Festival members insisted that Johnny was NOT ARRESTED OR CONVICTED of violence against women and pointed out that the award reflects Depp’s cinematic achievements- not his personal life. Ironically, later this month Johnny is scheduled to receive another honorary award in the Czech Republic.

Apology Cancel Culture Courtney Ford Tirade Trent Reznor

COURTNEY LOVE LEARNED A LESSON FROM CHRISSY TEIGEN

Courtney Love went on an Instagram rampage yesterday and insulted Nirvana band members over a royalties gripe she’s had for years, and then she turned on Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and accused him of “abusing girls as young as 12.” The next day she came to her senses, took down the post, and apologized to everyone. (Possibly inspired by Chrissy Teigen) It raised the question: Could someone with a controversial history like Courtney GET AWAY with bad behavior online that might damage someone else’s career? Maybe- but Courtney didn’t want to take a chance…
