Cara Delevingne Has Been Accused Of “Fetishizing Black Women” After Footage Of Her Licking Azealia Banks Resurfaced Following Her Bizarre Treatment Of Megan Thee Stallion At The BBMAs

It’s fair to say that Cara Delevingne managed to completely steal the show at Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards, despite the fact she isn’t best known for being a musician — let alone a nominee.

Cara repeatedly tossed the train in the air for the cameras, and although Megan laughed politely at first, people have argued that glimmers of irritation appeared to cross her face as Cara crashed her red carpet moment.

As Megan made her way onto the stage, Cara once again grabbed at the train of her dress, but instead of throwing it like she did on the red carpet, she simply ran her hand down the fabric.

Cara then leaped out of her seat and dramatically applauded Megan’s win.

One was filmed earlier this month, when Cara was spotted seemingly leaning in to kiss Megan at a Met Gala afterparty. In the short video, which gained traction after it was shared by gossip Instagram account Deux Moi, Megan reacted by putting her hands on Cara’s shoulders and gently pushing her away.

“Glad people finally seeing Cara Delevingne as a menace to society because why was she trying to kiss Megan at the Met Gala after party,” one person tweeted.

Cara then kneeled on the floor and began to grab and lick Azealia’s legs, with someone sharing the video and writing: “Can we ban Cara Delevingne from Hollywood?”

Taking to Twitter, one person said of the BBMAs: “Do people realize what Cara was doing last night was fetishizing and dehumanizing Black women???” Someone else wrote: “Cara Delevingne is weird, please stop fetishizing black women.”

The star shared a series of photos from the night to her Instagram account, including a fan-made edit of herself and Doja sitting in their seats.

While some argued that Megan’s repost was a subtle nod to the online commentary surrounding Cara’s antics, others pointed out that Cara was slightly blurry in the original snap so she may have actually been cropped out for that reason.
