Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti have found themselves at the center of controversy after being accused of double standards during the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning actor, who is widely known for his advocacy on environmental issues, has faced backlash from fans and critics alike after reportedly fleeing the chaotic situation by private jet, while the victims of the fires were left behind to endure the devastation.
DiCaprio, a prominent environmental advocate who regularly uses his platform to raise awareness about climate change, was criticized for what many saw as hypocrisy. Online users were quick to point out the contradiction between his environmental activism and his actions, with accusations that his decision to travel in a private jet contradicted his vocal stance on reducing carbon emissions.
Social media users expressed their frustrations, with one commenting, “Leonardo is a hypocrite.” Another user expressed disbelief at the actor’s behavior, stating, “Well, most Hollywood celebrities are just scammers, and whether they are good or bad actors, they do their part to deceive their audience.” A third user added, “The ‘climate warriors’ don’t give a damn about the real climate. They’re all frauds…”
The backlash came after DiCaprio and Ceretti were photographed arriving in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, just days after the fires had begun in Los Angeles. DiCaprio’s father, George DiCaprio, and his wife, Peggy Ann Farrar, were also with the couple on the trip.
This situation has sparked ongoing debate about celebrity activism and the gap between public environmental efforts and personal lifestyle choices. Many are questioning how actions like flying in private jets can align with DiCaprio’s public stance on environmental issues, leaving some to wonder if this is a case of “do as I say, not as I do.”
