Taraji P. Henson gets honest about celebs attending 2026 Met Gala

Taraji P. Henson recently shared her honest thoughts on celebrities attending this year’s Met Gala, sponsored by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos.

The Hidden Figures actress dropped her views on a video posted by Meredith Lynch on Instagram titled “a warning for celebs”.

In this clip, Lynch advised the celebs not to wear ICE Out pins at the event, given that Bezos is “part of the reason we’re in this mess”.

Henson wrote in the comment section, “I am so confused by some ppl that are going. I am just like WTF ARE WE DOING!?!?!?!”

Separately, the Empire actress re-shared a post that criticised Bezos for owning a $500 million superyacht while also having workers in Amazon warehouses that “face precarious conditions, low wages and high injury rates,” on her Instagram Story.

She wrote in the caption, “Enjoy the MET.”

In addition to Henson, Zendaya, Bella Hadid and Ariana Grande did not attend the event this year but their reasons were different.
