I'm amazed celebrities are willing to wear these in advertisements. Public backlash has been incredibly loud, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lose followers, end up on boycott lists, or even have to shutter their private brands.

Can't believe their PR teams are letting them do this. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
