Pharrell Tries to Reason With PETA Protestor Who Crashed His TIFF Premiere

Pharrell Williams attempted to reason with a PETA protester who disrupted the premiere of his Lego biopic 'Piece by Piece' at TIFF 2024.

Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.” PETA has pushed back on Louis Vuitton’s use of fur and wildlife skins, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Do the right thing and switch to faux & vegan alternatives NOW!” In response, Williams walked to the edge of the stage and said, “You’re right, you’re right.” He then led the crowd in offering the protester a collective “God bless you” as they continued their “Pharrell stop torturing animals” chant. “We would be happy to stop disrupting Pharrell’s appearances but despite a lot of lip service, he’s yet to ditch fur and exotic skins,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman shared in a statement to Variety.
