Boy George has called on Kim Kardashian to publicly condemn her ex-husband Kanye West amid the anti-semitism controversy.
Culture Club singer Boy George, 61, has shared his thoughts on the scandal and is particularly incensed that West’s ex-wife Kardashian, 42, has been radio silent at least publicly on the situation.
‘I’m kind of appalled that not more artists have come out and spoke against what he’s saying,’ George said in an Instagram video on Saturday.Kanye has since apologised for ‘hurting’ the Jewish community ‘I’m appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn’t come out and added her voice to this debate, because this woman has children with Kanye, so she must understand as a mother what it feels like for little Jewish children to hear these f***ing comments, how demoralising and terrifying it must be.’
Becoming tearful, the singer – real name George Alan O’Dowd – continued: ‘As a gay man I have experienced years of prejudice, you know, so the idea of doing that to someone else based on their race or their colour or their sexuality or their gender is just f***ing appalling to me, and it should be appalling to you.’
Earlier this week, the dad-of-four sat down with Piers Morgan for an explosive interview, in which he defended his recent behaviour before apologising for his anti-semitic comments.The presenter was questioned on whether he regretted threatening to go ‘Defcon 3 on Jewish people’ in a post which saw him locked out of both Twitter and Instagram.
