Getty Images Just as Heidi Klum was ascending the museum stairs, a protester breached the entrance to the Met Gala on Monday night in New York before being tackled by security, briefly rattling the star-studded event but not making it to the carpet.
There had been reports ahead of the event that protests were expected, given the gala’s lead sponsorship by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos. Opposition to the Bezos’s began almost immediately after they were announced as financial sponsors in February, and the New York Times reported that an anti-Bezos campaign had erupted on city streets, in subways and online in the weeks leading up to the event, with social media users dubbing it the “Amazon Prime Gala” or “Bezos Ball.” The carpet continued without further incident.
