Madonna Called Out For Her 'Privilege' After Bizarre Bathtub Video Calling Global Pandemic 'The Great Equalizer'

Celebrities are finding their actions under intense scrutiny in light of current events.

The Gal Godot-led cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" resulted in mostly backlash.

Now Madonna started another wave via her Instagram.


The video begins with Madonna sitting in a milky bathtub with rose petals.

Regarding the pandemic, she says:

"It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are. How smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell. It's the great equalizer and what's terrible about it is what's great about it."

Ironically, calling it the great equalizer while she sat in a very pretty bathroom in a well-shot bathtub did not go over well with fans.





The message feels tone deaf against the backdrop of the current situation.

Hospitals are close to exhausting supplies and equipment—including life-saving items such as ventilators. Beds are running short and folks are out of work and in danger of losing their homes.

Madonna is in a bathtub in her house under no danger of eviction or starvation saying "it's made us all equal."





Reportedly, the 61-year-old singer is self-isolating in London alongside her boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams and daughter Mercy James.





Time will tell whose gestures will be well received and who will draw public condemnation.

Texas Conservatives Are Up In Arms After Receiving Pamphlets For Trans Teens—Except Republicans Are Behind It All

Texas Republicans have lashed out after receiving pamphlets for transgender teenagers about gender-affirming care even though the pamphlets' origins show that the call is very much coming from inside the house.

Although the pamphlets distributed at the start of Texas’s early voting period claim to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), a legitimate organization, the materials are fraudulent, the group has confirmed.

George Santos Just Threw His Hat In The Ring For White House Press Secretary—And The Reactions Are Priceless

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he threw his name in the mix to replace former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job.

Santos, whose political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief, has been soapboxing significantly since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence in October 2025.
