46-year-old American singer Erica Badu a few days ago was in the middle of the scandal. Blame for everything was her interview for the publication of Vulture, in which she spoke about the fact that she was impressed by people like Bill Cosby and Adolf Hitler. These words were so unfounded that they caused a lot of negative reviews in social networks.
Erica's statements about Cosby and Hitler
The interview given to Badu was built not only on questions about her career, but also about her life preferences. So, Erica said that she was trying to see only the good in all people without exception, and she gave two rather dubious examples: Bill Cosby and Adolf Hitler. Here are the words she said about the ex-Führer of Germany:
"I believe that in each of us there is something beautiful. For example, Hitler was a good artist. In general, he had a very difficult biography. Do you know how his childhood went? It's a nightmare. I'm not surprised that it was after the injuries received at that time that he became such a despot. I always think about what would happen to me or to my daughter if we grew up in such conditions. I'm sure that we would have grown up as no less terrible people. "
After these words, the interviewer of Vulture, whose name is David Marchez, pronounced these phrases:
"I categorically disagree with you. If he had the talent of an "artist", which is a very controversial statement, then it has nothing to do with what he did. Hitler can not be referred to the category of "good people", if only because on his conscience the deaths of millions of people. "
The second person, in which Erica saw a lot of good, was a comedian and actor Bill Cosby. The case about him was so loud that there are no people in the US who have not heard anything about the "Cosby Process". Since 2014, various women have accused him of sexual violence. About 60 people were injured in Bill's unlawful actions. Despite this, Erica said about him such words:
"Cosby likes me. He did a lot for the cinema. And I consider all these things very successful. As far as I know, Bill was recognized as mentally ill. If he is insane, why should I blame him for his actions. It must be understood that sick people always cause a lot of pain. That's why they are sick. They need to be treated, not judged. "
- Bill Cosby sees almost nothing
- Bill Cosby was arrested for aggravated rape
- Halle Berry - the only dark-skinned actress who received the statuette "Oscar"!
Fans are outraged by Badu's words
After Erika's interview was published on the Internet, a real scandal occurred. Almost all the fans condemned the singer for saying Badu is saying the wrong things. Here's what you could read on social networks: "How can you say that you love people who caused so much pain, suffering and tears? Such people as Hitler and Cosby should not be on our land and whether they are sick or not, "I'm shocked by Badu's words. She always considered her to be an intelligent and sensible woman, but here it is ... How can you say that Hitler and Cosby are good people? "" I wonder what would have happened if Erica had been the victim of Bill's violence? Would she have defended him too? Delirium of some kind, etc.
