I’ll stand corrected - it was @vxf111 who used scorn.
So, as you don’t follow IG at all, you don’t have an actual first hand account about what transpired on IG and what some of us are referencing, correct? Since you don’t use it, let me explain to you want happened, so you understand what myself and others saw and why we’re side-eyeing the heck outta of it. The two are exclusive - if she made the comment and dropped it, then so be it. What she did was kept the press going since it was very favorable w/o any really action to date.
IG has something called Stories that last 24 hrs. Kaley made her claim - all well and good. Then for the next few days, she started reposting a ton of people/media outlets singing her praises on, often reposting her original post. The focus absolutely shifted from the ACTION, to it became “Look at all the people who agree with me!!” Again, if you did not witness the ACTUAL sequence of events we all saw and are taking issue with, you can’t really have a say that we’ve come to wrong conclusion.
Bottom line is this - It really appears all for show. What productive has come of it? Nothing - she used this issue to get clicks and press for herself. Being that she’s been so vocal as of yesterday of “The offer still stands” after the German rider did her interview (which Kaley shared/commented on in her Stories), that seems to be all she’s got, so can we assume she/her people have never reached out to the owners to make an offer (I’d love to be wrong here)? And yes, she did the whole “Offer still stands” when she shared the German lady’s interview in her IG Stories - you and I aren’t agreeing on much, but I think we can agree that the ownership of the horse/offer to buy has Nothing to do with the rider.
And as you don’t follow Kaley on IG or use it, you’re also not familiar with all she does do/talk about regarding rescues and “adopt don’t shop”. Based on her past usage on her social media (well documented), this isn’t “on brand” for her to miss a bigger picture, hence why I, and it appears others, have noticed that she’s hanging on the notoriety surrounding one horse. She does work with other groups and makes mention of them - why is she missing the bigger conversation that’s taking place? I think because it’s splasher/great press to say, “Name Your Price!” to save a horse, especially as we’re (zips up flame suit) coming up on Emmy time.
Again, if you weren’t there, you really can’t comment on the WHOLE picture (or, well, in this case multiple, multiple IG stories) on why there’s a number of us who are all a little sus of the motive here. It’s more than the initial claim - that’s all well and good. It’s the constant patting herself on the back that is pretty disingenuous.
And I would Love for her to get with the bigger conversation, like she does for other issues with animals, and throw her weight behind what needs to change, because omg, CLEARLY she more than likely could make a difference since she does get traction in the press. How great would that be?
