Bella Hadidhas hit out at stars set to attend Monday'sMet Galaover Amazon bossJeff Bezos's position as co-chairman of the event.
The supermodel, 29, who has attended the gala five times, liked a video by internet personality Meredith Lynch on Instagram stating: 'You cannot wear the ICE out pin to the Jeff Bezos-backed MET Gala. Jeff Bezos is part of the reason we're in this mess.'
The comment was in reference to the controversy surrounding the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)'s expanded mass deportation initiative under the Trump administration earlier this year.
Bella is joined in her sentiments by stars includingZendaya, who is snubbing the fashion world's biggest event andMeryl Streep, who pulled out as co-chairman.
The backlash comes due to Jeff's behemoth organisation having contracts with ICE and Amazon Web Services (AWS), reportedly hosting data for Palantir, which provides software to ICE for tracking and identifying immigrants.
