In 1992, Sinead O'Connor ripped up a picture of the Pope on live television, in protest of the rampant child sexual abuse the Catholic Church was actively covering up.

Celebrating Adele's weight loss is a garbage thing to do for a million reasons. Here are two:
1. It tells your fat friends you think their bodies are a problem to be solved.
2. The weight loss could be the result of physical or mental health struggles. Weird to cheer about!

The organizers tasked Kris Kristofferson with removing O'Connor from the stage. He instead went out and put his arm around her and checked in on her and stayed until she'd steadied herself and was ready to perform. When she came off stage, he wrapped her in a bear hug.

About the incident, he says:
"Sinead had just recently on Saturday Night Live torn up a picture of the Pope, in a gesture that I thought was very misunderstood. And she came out and got booed. They told me to go get her off the stage and I said 'I'm not about to do that' [...]

And was mixed up about one part: Andrew Dice Clay was the host of SNL the night that Sinead tore up the picture. She (and other women in the cast) refused to be in skits with him. It was Joe Pesci who -- when hosting the show a week later -- said he wanted to give her a slap.

Other folks are saying what Sinead did wasn't about child abuse? I don't know what to tell you. On both shows, she performed Bob Marley's 'War', but added in lyrics about child abuse. She also gave this interview shortly after.

I also feel the need to clarify that I am not shilling for Gillette? I just stated the inarguable fact that their recent ad has both started and furthered conversations on the topic of toxic masculinity. I think
@elamin88
's take is perfect:
There is a whole bunch of conversation to digest around that Gillette ad, but it should go without saying that brands absolutely have a place in these conversations. Advertising helped cement versions of masculinity that became the problem, and they should spend money fixing it.
