“Need a coronavirus test? Being rich and famous may help,” noted The New York Times. “A shortage in testing has left sick people and health care workers around the U.S. without answers. Yet the list of celebrity patients grows every day, raising questions about privileged access.” That’s one reason why Madonna’s followers weren’t thrilled with her video.
“Stop talking nonsense — rich celebrities are not in the same boat as ordinary people as their chances of survival will be much higher due to extreme wealth,” one Twitter user wrote. “Please wake up — we are not ‘all in this together’ by any stretch of the imagination — maybe in utopia — but not [in real life].”

“So glad you can waste milk for a bath while I had to wait in line for an hour just to get milk for my toddler. So no, this pandemic has not made us equal,” someone else tweeted. Another person called Madonna out for what she could be doing, writing, “[I]t’s embarrassing that you haven’t donated a dime to relief efforts when business & lives are falling apart. You’re like the 3rd richest woman in Europe. Stop spending thousands on rose petal baths and drop $ on aid now!”
Granted, Madonna may not have spent quite that much to take a dip in her tub, but she may want to do more than post Instagram videos in a time of need if she wants to win anyone over.
