Henson joined Meredith Lynch in criticizing the stars who attended this year’s Met Gala, since it is sponsored by honorary co-chairs Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos. Lynch posted a video on Instagram Saturday in which she warned A-listers not to wear their “ICE Out” pins to the “Jeff Bezos-backed” Met Gala because “Jeff Bezos is part of the reason we’re in this fucking mess.” By “this fucking mess,” Lynch means Donald Trump’s presidency, which Bezos supported. While Lynch acknowledged that the “Met is a wonderful institution in New York City” that donates the funds from the gala to “a good cause,” she added that it is “wild to me that this event is sponsored by Jeff Bezos, who has backed Trump, who has slashed arts funding.” Related Stories 'Apex' Review: Man Is the Predator in a Rip-Roaring Outdoor Duel Between Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton
