So how do you feel on Kelly supporting Palestine? I honestly think it's very much fake for a few reasons. One, her family has openly supported Bolsonaro, she has been openly supporting and defending (not openly but c'mon, she made a statement when she liked that post) her father. She also had a transphobic post, i don't know if it's still up, but you can find it on tiktok with one simple search. I'm pro palestine, and honestly it's offending how much she pretends to support palestine and Palestinians but STILL works with Izraeli supporting brands. Also, i find it absolutely hilarious how every one of her minions tries to portray her as this iconic, independent woman, when she lives off of Max's money. And don't even get me started on how Vouge NL tried to describe her as a "woman in motorsports" when she has NO connections to motosport except her dad and brother, and whoring around the Formula E paddock a few years ago.
Dear Anon, I feel like sh*t. And I feel exactly the same way you do. Honestly, as I’ve said many times before, my patience can handle pretty much everything about the whole KP story — with the right dose of irony and neurons activated — except for this. This topic.
I can’t stand performative activism. I can’t stand people who take the spotlight away from causes that truly need to be illuminated — just to catch a sparkle for themselves. They end up covering what actually matters. So absolutely not.
In my opinion, the biggest contradiction, the one that really sticks out to me, is the support for Bolsonaro. Because, I mean, I try to take voting seriously. When I turned old enough to vote, it was right before the European elections, and I remember being genuinely moved. Since then, I’ve tried to always show up — even for the smallest, most insignificant local vote — and I try to stay informed, because that right is something people, especially women, fought and bled for not so long ago. It’s something that deserves respect.
The way you exercise your right to vote — carries a much deeper value than a 24-hour Instagram story you spent 30 seconds putting together and posting.
Now, I respect everyone’s political views — if you vote for Bolsonaro, you’re free to do so, that’s democracy. What I don’t like is the incoherence-on-demand attitude — like voting Bolsonaro because it benefits you somehow, and then suddenly embracing a pro-Palestine cause that’s completely inconsistent with his openly pro-Israel politics.
And this isn’t some vague alignment either — Bolsonaro was very explicit about that. Up until 2018, he made it crystal clear — even promising Netanyahu to move Brasil’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Unless you’ve had a genuine political awakening — which can happen, of course, but those things usually happen in your twenties, when you’re still figuring things out, learning, reading, shaping your views. We’re talking about someone who supported Bolsonaro at 30. At thirty, your political identity is pretty much formed. So unless you’ve had that kind of radical transformation, when you publicly endorse someone like that, and even make propaganda about it using your platform, you can’t later expect people to forget and treat your activism as credible — especially when it concerns something as emotionally and historically deep as this conflict.
Sorry for the bluntness, but this kind of stance often feels like an easy “like grab.” It’s a topic that touches people deeply, so it’s constantly being exploited for optics. And that’s why I’m deeply skeptical — not just of her, but of any celebrity who suddenly becomes loudly pro-Palestine in public.
Personally, I prefer those who stay quiet and help privately. Always. And to be honest, I’ve gotten to the point where I intentionally avoid even looking at the ones who do it performatively. Because sadly, this cause — one that should be about humanity and grief — has been turned into a social signal. And that’s something I can’t digest.
