Ye shared antisemitic statements in his latest posts, and Hollywood and the social media platforms are proving actions have consequences.
The rapper, also known as Kanye West, was locked out of his Twitter and Instagram accounts; Spokespeople for Twitter and Instagram said Sunday that Ye posted messages that violated their policies.
Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Silverman and more figures in Hollywood have also used their platform to speak out against the hateful messages shared by Ye.
In a tweet sent late Saturday, Ye said he would soon go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” an apparent reference to the U.S. military readiness condition scale known as DEFCON.
