Keke Palmer stars in ‘I Love Boosters,’ an anti-capitalist film about women who steal luxury clothing to sell it more cheaply in their community. While promoting it, she and her castmates launched into criticism of the system in front of cameras and on red carpets. The problem: the internet was quick to point out the contradiction of being famous, well-paid, and using those very spotlights to talk about a system they live off. Part of the public celebrates it —’celebrities criticizing capitalism are an asset, not a liability,’ one user wrote— while another part gets irritated: ‘asking this of rich people just makes me angry.’ It’s not the first time it’s happened: at the 2026 Met Gala, Sarah Paulson wore a collection designed to mock the ultra-rich… at an event with a 56,000-dollar ticket presided over by Jeff Bezos. The question no one ever quite answers is whether credibility matters when the message is right.
