Archaeologist Annelise Baer recently found herself in the middle of a digital storm after she posted a video exploring the earrings Zendaya wore to the Odyssey screening. What started as an educational deep dive into historical artifacts turned into a situation where, in a follow-up video, she described the situation as “quite frankly terrifying,” complete with alleged vile comments and death threats.
Taking to her platforms on TikTok and Instagram, she noted, “Hi, I’m going to try to speak as clearly and succinctly as I can today so that nothing is misunderstood. Last week, a person who I do not know and who does not know me made a video criticizing me. While many of the points raised in her video are valid and are also things I agree with, it has created this whole larger situation that is quite frankly terrifying.”
