Dishonorable mention: Nicki Minaj

Now, I’m just as much a Barb as the next person, but her reason for not attending the Met Gala rubbed me the wrong way. As a rule, all guests had to be vaccinated against coronavirus. She didn’t want to attend, citing that she “had to do more research” about the COVID vaccine, which has overwhelming evidence supporting its effectiveness. Not one of Queen Nicki’s most shining moments, in my opinion.
