As a marketing person, what do you think of the celebrities discussing their causes on the red carpet? I think it can be pretty alienating. I worked for a company who actually canceled a celebrity’s contract for this.

I personally love it. I think the world would be a better place if more celebrities used their platforms to talk about important causes. It is a shame to hear a contract was cancelled because of that.

What if it was for something you found highly offensive would you feel the same way?

I'm an American who respects free speech before I'm a marketing person, so I'm fine with celebrities talking about whatever their cause might be. People can choose to be interested, or perhaps inspired, or they're free to mock and ridicule it. Inviting someone to an event, and then trying to muzzle them on the red carpet would be ridiculous. If the celebrity had a contract for sponsorship, and their cause was something offensive that caused their contract to be canceled, I'd be fine with that. It's just how things work.

So far, I found your opinion to be the most realistic one. It's up to celebs to know what they should or shouldn't do, and take consequences of their behavior. Most of them are very aware of all these boundaries.

Like anyone I'm free to talk about my "causes" but that might mean others don't want to work with me, employ me or buy what I'm selling. However, we all know how much influence or sway these celebs have, which is why they often get targeted to push a certain POV or product (if Taylor Swift tells young people to vote a certain way then they likely will). Are these causes always genuine or good? I'm not so sure - money tends to be the most influential of all. Be careful who you listen to.
