Australian actor Ruby Rose has hit back at online critics alleging that Taylor Swift does not use her money for good.
Rose wrote on Threads that the 14-time Grammy winner has given large sums of money to GoFundMe pages in response to claims that Swift was undeserving of herbillionaire status and did not donate to good causes.
“lol. She used to scroll gofundme like a social media app. Clicking ‘reach their donation’ like the ‘like’ button,” Rose wrote on the platform.
The John Wick Chapter 2 actor also seemingly responded to rumours that Swift was a Donald Trump supporter and promoted conservative values in the lyrics of her new album, Life of a Showgirl.
“As someone who has spent many nights discussing the world, social injustice and life, with The Show Girl herself. I refuse to say her name in the same sentence as the hate group, Wackadoodles, are conspiring to attach her to. But what I will say is this …” she began.
“Given her public position against Trump, and his against her. If you are falling for the propaganda ‘Trad wife’ ‘X, y, z’ claims, you are most definitely walking into the biggest man made, rage bait, black hole.
“Stop it. It’s not true, and it’s incredibly stupid. It’s also embarrassing and hurtful to see energy put into this. Keep that energy and let’s take it where it’s necessary and needed.”
Actor Ruby Rose is a longtime friend of Taylor Swift's. She has starred in Pitch Perfect 3 and Orange is the New Black.
Tradwife, short for traditional wife, refers to a married woman who stays at home caring for her children and undertaking household tasks, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.
The movement has gained popularity online since 2020.
Rose, who starred in Pitch Perfect 3 and Orange is the New Black, has been friends with Swift for years, according to Billboard.
The actor has defended Swift on social media in the past, notably during the singer’s feuds with Kanye West and Katy Perry.
In 2016, Swift presented the Australian with a top GLAAD Media Award.
“She tells the world that no one can judge us, and no one can stop us. She is a woman of many talents. She is my friend, Ruby Rose,” Swift said in her introduction.
