Pharrell Williams is confronted by animal rights protestors who accuse him of 'killing animals for fashion' at Louis Vuitton event in Paris


The singer, 51, hosted a Louis Vuitton event at the brand's French headquarters the night before the launch of the Olympic games.

After making a speech to the attendees from a balcony, Pharrell descended the stairs when two protestors stood nearby held up signs reading: 'Pharrell: Stop killing animals for fashion.' PETA Vice President Yvonne Taylor said in a statement: 'While Pharrell lives it up at celeb-filled soirées, the vulnerable animals sentenced to die for his 'fashion' choices languish in pain and filth on factory farms and at slaughterhouses, where they'll be hacked to bits or skinned alive. Pharrell, who was named as Louis Vuitton's new creative director last year, incurred the wrath of PETA when he created a $1million made-to-order bag made from cocodile leather.
