A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked rumors that Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star was destroyed. The claim follows the protests that broke out ahead of her ceremony, where pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators caused disruptions. As the post has gone viral, many are questioning whether the claim is true.
Here is everything to know about the claim.
Was Gal Gadot Hollywood Walk of Fame destroyed?
A viral post on X recently led to speculation that Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star had been destroyed. The post featured an image of a shattered star with a hammer lying beside it, along with a caption reading, “Too late.” A second image provided a closer look at the damaged star, leading many users to wonder what happened.
However, fact-checking confirmed that the claim was false. The images were reportedly not recent and did not show Gadot’s star. Another user, @agentofnuance, pointed out that the photos were actually from 2018, when Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star was vandalized. They wrote, “Nope that was trump’s star years ago” The original post from Pop Crave at the time had reported the incident, proving that the viral claim was misleading.
This comes after Gal Gadot was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 18. However, the ceremony faced disruptions before it even began. Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters gathered at the location, leading to a delay in the event. Tensions escalated, prompting police officers to step in and manage the situation.
Gadot avoided addressing the controversy and instead focused on expressing gratitude to those who supported her career. She said, “I’m just a girl from a town in Israel. I could never imagine such a moment. I never dreamt of becoming an actress, and I never knew that these things are possible.” (via ABC7)
