Oprah And The Rock Draw Criticism, Defenders Over Their Maui Wildfire Response
As Insider pointed out, however, several fans have come to the stars’ defense.
“They donated 10 million!” one user said, adding, “I don’t understand why there is such negative reaction to this, but I must emphasize that being wealthy and accomplished doesn’t obligate someone to distribute their wealth.”
Another defender pointed out the duo was supporting Maui residents and encouraging others to do the same: “They are spreading the word and asking others to donate as well as donating themselves.”
While support for Winfrey and Johnson in positive comments or likes on social media likely outweighs criticisms, their critics are many, and their voices ring loudly across social media. Thus, their charitable efforts in Maui and their connections to the area will continue to be scrutinized as the community slowly recovers from this devastating natural disaster.
