Australian actress Isla Fisher has become the latest celebrity to criticize Kanye West for his alleged antisemitic remarks. West has faced significant backlash after controversial comments made through several posts on X, leading many netizens and celebrities to call him out. On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, Isla took to Instagram to condemn the rapper’s recent statements.
As reported by AllHipHop, the 49-year-old actress shared a screenshot of a Swastika t-shirt, which was reportedly the only item available on Kanye West’s Yeezy platform, urging her followers not to support him. In a heartfelt message accompanying the image, she wrote: “Meet a little girl with a big heart RIGHT HERE.” She emphasized her stance against the offensive merchandise, highlighting the impact of such symbols.
According to Variety, dated February 10, the Yeezy site had displayed the usual items during the Super Bowl commercial aired on Sunday, but all other products were removed shortly after, leaving only the Swastika t-shirt for sale. Isla Fisher, who converted to Judaism before marrying Sacha Baron Cohen, has a personal connection to the issue. In a 2004 interview with the London Evening Standard, she mentioned her willingness to convert to any religion for love, ultimately embracing Judaism in 2007 and adopting the Hebrew name Ayala.
Isla Fisher was not the only celebrity to condemn Kanye’s troubling comments. Other figures like Charlie Puth and Friends actor David Schwimmer also criticized the rapper. Puth shared an Instagram post where he made a plea to Kanye, expressing his discontent. Similarly, Schwimmer called upon Elon Musk on Instagram, urging him not to provide a platform for West to vocalize and spread harmful beliefs. The actor cautioned that the rapper’s extensive social media following could incite violence against the Jewish community, stating: “Kanye West has yet to issue any statement on the backlash caused by his remarks.”
This controversy highlights the ongoing struggles surrounding antisemitism, particularly in the realm of celebrity influence. As Isla Fisher and others speak out against hatred, the hope remains for meaningful change and awareness to combat such divisive rhetoric.
