Charli XCX is facing mounting backlash online after fans noticed her wearing merchandise linked to Sid Vicious, the late Sex Pistols bassist whose legacy is closely tied to violence, abuse, and allegations of Nazi sympathies.
In a video promoting her film, The Moment, XCX wore a white T-shirt with Vicious' photo and name. This led social media to accuse the pop star of glamorising a figure associated with the murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. There were also allegations that he abused cats and that Vicious was a Nazi.
