Someone does not like a certain billboard…despite the fact that its subject is sometimes on the top of the Billboards!
The Big Bang Theory‘s Mayim Bialik has some objection to an ad featuring Ariana Grande.
In a recent post she wrote on her Kveller blog, the actress slammed the pop star’s appearance, despite not exactly knowing who she was:
“So, here’s my deal: I’m socially conservative even though I’m a liberal. Confused yet?
I am a bleeding heart liberal without exception. But I am old-fashioned. My kids have clothes they only wear to synagogue. I don’t favor my kids cursing. I dress modestly. I don’t want my kids learning about sex from billboards. Stuff like that.
Which is why a few billboards I have seen lately really bug me. There is one for Ariana Grande, and I will go ahead and admit I have no idea who she is or what she does. Based on the billboard, she sells lingerie. Or stiletto heels. Or plastic surgery because every woman over 22 wishes she has that body, I’m sure. Why is she in her underwear on this billboard though? And if she has a talent (is she a singer?), then why does she have to sell herself in lingerie? I mean, I know that society is patriarchal and women are expected to be sexy and sexually available no matter what we do in society, but I guess now I need to explain that to my sons?”
Now, we’re not sure exactly which billboard Mayim is referring to, but it’s safe to say that based on her mention of “lingerie” and “stiletto heels,” the ad is actually the cover art for Ariana’s new album My Everything.
Apparently, sex does NOT sell for Mayim.
We’ll see how this growing celebrity feud continues!
