“I’m embarrassed that not one person said one thing, unless I’m mistaken, at the Golden Globes the other night, about the 133 hostages that were kidnapped in broad daylight from Israel on October 7,” he says in his video.
Michael continues, “All that billion-dollar Barbie feminism and all these young conscious actors and actresses, and there’s [the] hostages that are the exact same age as them. And not one actor, not one director, not one producer, not one comedian. Nobody said anything before the Golden Globes, after the Golden Globes, [or] during the Golden Globes.”
The actor concluded, “On behalf of actors, I apologize for them. I apologize to Israel. I apologize to the hostage families. I apologize to the victims. On their behalf.”
Michael recently shared that he felt “disrespected” after ABC didn’t approach him to host The Bachelor.
