Pharrell Williams Responds to PETA Protester During Toronto Biopic Premiere: ‘You’re Right, God Bless You’


Pharrell Williams responded to a PETA protester who interrupted a Q&A for his animated 'Piece By Piece' biopic on Tuesday in Toronto on Tuesday.

Shouting “Pharrell stop torturing animals!,” the activist scurried away from security guards chasing her and hopped onto the floor in front of the stage as Williams addressed her directly. In an Instagram post about the interruption, PETA wrote, “We CRASHED@pharrell ’s@piecebypiecefilm premiere at@tiff_net to remind the@louisvuitton men’s creative director that animals suffer for fur & wildlife skins. Back in June 2023, PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman issued a statement responding to Williams’ use of fur in his then-new collection for the fashion house.
