8. Selena Gomez
The Behaving Badly actress was ambushed by sweatshop protestors at NY Fashion Week back in 2013. Protestors were urging Gomez to cut her ties with Adidas after sweatshop labor claims were made against the popular athletic shoe brand. The United Students Against Sweatshops reported that Adidas refused to pay severance to 2,800 garment workers who sewed its apparel for over 10 years in Indonesian factories. Gomez said that she was unaware of Adidas’ refusal to pay $1.8 million in legally owed severance.
These celebs were caught in sweatshop scandals and dismissed the controversy by claiming ignorance. Do you think that’s a good enough excuse?
