Zoe Saldana says that boycotting Dolce & Gabbana would be “the stupidest thing” because of their comments about “synthetic children.”
During an appearance at the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards, Saldana said, “That would be the stupidest thing if it affected my fashion choice. People are allowed to their own opinion, however, I wouldn’t have chosen to be so public about something that’s such a personal thing.”
She revealed, “My husband is from Italy, and if I judged him based on the words that he misuses in our English language he wouldn’t be here today. It’s like look people, have a drink, relax, it’s okay.”
The designer team and former couple offended many stars with their comments in Italy’s Panorama magazine.
“You are born to a mother and a father — or at least that’s how it should be,” Dolce said in the interview. “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog.”
Saldana understands that the topic is extremely sensitive, but thinks the pair’s apology has been sufficient.
“Obviously it caused some sensitivity, but then again if you continue to follow the news, you see they all kinda hugged it out, so why are we making a big deal about it?” she continued. “I’m certainly not going to stop wearing Dolce, and I’m certainly not going to be refuting when they are adopting synthetic children, however they wanted to say it. I do think things are lost in translation.”
