Remember Isabel Lucas? That Home & Away star who used to be on the cover of every local magazine?
Boys wanted to date her, girls wanted to be her, etc etc?
Well, since being away, she’s made herself at home as an anti-vaxxer and it’s gotten her in quite a bit of strife – rightly so.
Daily Mail reports that Lucas has been dropped as a charity ambassador over her comments on coronavirus vaccines.
The 35-year-old actress was slammed alongside surfer Taj Burrow for promoting alternative medicines as an answer to the COVID-19 pandemic in response to an Instagram post by old mate Pete Evans.
Lucas said she doesn’t “trust the path of vaccination,” while Burrow claimed that vaccines are “not needed” to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
Following her comments, Plan International Australia, a charity for girls’ equality who selected Lucas as an ambassador to help young women, has ended the ambassadorship.
The charity made the announcement on Twitter after a fan wrote:
“Are you aware your ambassador, actress Isabel Lucas, is one of these conspiracy theorists stoking fears during this crisis? She’s also anti-vaccination… go figure.”
Plan International Australia replied, “We are aware of the issues and as of today, Ms Lucas and Plan International have come to a mutual agreement to end the ambassadorship.”
