Olivia Rodrigo's feminist brand is under attack from her own fanbase after the 23-year-old chart-topper sat for a chummy interview with YouTube music critic Anthony Fantano, the same reviewer who gave Halsey's chemotherapy-era album a 'decent 1' out of 10 and apologised last year over resurfaced clips of him using racial slurs.
Stan Twitter is now calling Rodrigo a 'fake activist,' accusing her of platforming a critic of female pop artists, as Halsey's fans were demanding accountability. The discourse peaked on Sunday, 21 June, with Rodrigo's new album 'You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love' sitting atop the Billboard 200.
