Amanda Beard: I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur But Cow Skin Is Cool Too
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 7th, 2008 in Athletes-Games-Sports.
Yesterday when you saw Amanda Beard on our website, she was wearing a little less clothing to protest the use of fur. However, some are saying she suspiciously has done a 180 turnaround since 2007 and may be a hypocrite.
In 2007, Beard told Meghan Cleary on her blog at missmeghan.com that’d she’d go to the grave in her favorite pair of…gasp…leather sandals.
“I wear them on the pool deck, at the beach, and even sneak them into my wardrobe for dinners,” Beard said.
She is also reported to have told SmartMoney Magazine in September of that same year that she’d never settle for buying a low-quality leather jacket.
She says she’d rather go naked than wear fur, but maybe skin is okay for her??!!
PETA has been known to sever ties with celebrities who flip-flop (pun intended) on their stance of vegness and animals rights, including breaking their relationship with model Cindy Crawford when she sported a fur coat on a catwalk after making an anti-fur ad.
But PETA also has a forgiving and understanding side.
“Making the transition to a vegan lifestyle is a gradual process,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said. “We’re happy to work with celebrities on even the most introductory levels.”
No word on how or if they’ll be working with their latest nude anti-fur spokesmodel.
