8 Celebrities I’ll Always Associate With The Pandemic, For Better Or For Worse

Somehow, there are certain pop culture icons that just come to mind when we think about the last few years. Here are 8 celebrities who I think of when I talk about the pandemic.
1. Madonna

4. Ellen Degeneres

Finally, when they did receive official communication they were asked to anticipate a 60% cut in their salaries despite the show being on air. “That ‘be kind’ bullshit only happens when the cameras are on. It’s all for show. I know they give money to people and help them out, but it’s for the show,” said a former employee to BuzzFeed News.
5. Daniel Dae Kim

In the video, he used his platform to raise his voice against the anti-Asian hatred that had sprung up during the pandemic. “Please, please stop the prejudice and senseless violence against Asian people,” he urged viewers. “Yes, I’m Asian, and yes, I have coronavirus. But I did not get it from China. I got it in America, in New York City. And despite what certain political leaders want to call it, I don’t consider the place that it’s from as important as the people who are sick and dying. If I did, I would call this thing the New York virus. But that would be silly, right?”
6. Lady Gaga

This global broadcast special helped raise $128 million for frontline health workers. “I feel very honored to be a part of the World Health Organization and Global Citizen in the fight against COVID-19 and raising money for the Solidarity Response Fund. I care so much about all of the medical workers that are putting their lives at risk for us right now. I think of them every day, I pray for them every day, and I’m also thinking of all of you that are at home, who are wondering when this is all going to be different,” Gaga said during the broadcast.
7. Chris Cuomo

However, Chris lost his job after it came to light that he used his media sources and credentials to help with his brother’s sexual harassment allegations.
8. Evangeline Lilly
Roy Rochlin / Getty ImagesIn the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Lilly posted on Instagram saying that she’d dropped off her kids at gymnastics camp, which she called “business as usual,” despite orders to social distance and curb the spread of the coronavirus. When fans left comments criticizing her for ignoring experts’ recommendations, she defended herself saying that some people value their freedom and called the virus “respiratory flu”. Later, she released another post apologizing for her actions and informed fans that she is indeed practicing social distancing.
