Remember when Kanye “Ye” West shocked everyone with his antisemitic remarks? In 2022, the rapper went on a spree of public appearances, including an interview with Tucker Carlson, where he appeared to verbally attack Jewish people. In a highly controversial tweet, Ye also talked about going “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” in a since-deleted tweet, adding that he wasn’t antisemitic because “black people are actually Jew[s] also.” His hate speech led to widespread criticism and ended business relationships with Balenciaga, the Gap, and Foot Locker. Reese Witherspoon and Jamie Lee Curtis led the charge in condemning Ye — and as of January 2023, Kate Hudson was another A-lister who opined that Ye should be canceled for his words.

Speaking to The Independent, the “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” star said, “We should hold people accountable who do anything that’s sexist, misogynistic, or racist … Kanye should be held accountable for his behavior. Period.” She went on to share her feelings that people should have a deeper awareness of their own behaviors and that certain speech or actions should get them canceled in mainstream society. However, Hudson did touch on the fact she thinks cancel culture is a nuanced subject. “I don’t want kids to be scared to make art, or to say things. They need to take risks and speak their minds, because what they want to say could actually be really powerful,” she explained.
