Zoe Saldana Calls Dolce & Gabbana Boycott 'Stupidest Thing'
Actress has no plans to join the Elton John-led boycott.
— -- Don't expect Zoe Saldana to toss her "Dolce & Gabbana" items anytime soon.
"No! Not at all, that would be the stupidest thing if it affected my fashion choice," the fashion-forward actress told E! News recently when asked whether she planned to join the Elton John-led boycott against the famous label.
"People are allowed to their own opinion, however, I wouldn't have chosen to be so public about something that's such a personal thing."
She added, "Obviously it caused some sensitivity, but then again if you continue to follow the news, you see they all kind of hugged it out, so why are we making a big deal about it?"
John started the boycott against the Italian brand after one of its designers, Domenico Dolce, called children conceived by alternative methods "synthetic babies" during a recent interview with an Italian magazine. Other celebrities, including Ricky Martin, Courtney Love and Martina Navratilova, have joined the boycott.
After the backlash, both designers clarified the remarks. Stefano Gabbana said "it was never our intention to judge other people's choices. We do believe in freedom and love."
Dolce added that he "was talking about my personal view, without judging other people's choices and decisions."
Saldana, 36, told E! News, "I'm certainly not going to stop wearing Dolce, and I'm certainly not going to be refuting when they are adopting synthetic children, however they wanted to say it. I do think things are lost in translation."
Explained the mother of twin boys, "My husband [Marco Perego] is from Italy and if I judged him based on the words that he misuses in our English language, he wouldn't be here today. It's like look people, have a drink, relax, it's OK."
