Florence Pugh revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she has likely lost hundreds of thousands of followers on social media over the last few years because she is so outspoken in support of Palestine. The Oscar nominee has routinely shared links for humanitarian aid to Palestinians and made headlines last September for her surprise appearance at the Together for Palestine fundraising event, where she told the crowd: “Silence in the face of such suffering is not neutrality. It is complicity.”
