Cara Delevingne Defends Karl Lagerfeld Amid Criticism After His Death

Cara Delevingne has just spoken out on her Twitter account after the death of Karl Lagerfeld.

“He was born in 1933! I am not saying I agree with some of the things he has said. I’m very emotional and mourning his death and feel like I have to stick up for him when he’s not here to speak for himself,” Cara wrote on Wednesday (February 20).

Since Karl‘s death became public knowledge, many have mourned his death but some have been pointing out some of the negative things he’s said in the past. For example, The Good Place‘s Jameela Jamil called the late fashion designer out as a “ruthless, fat-phobic misogynist.”

Cara continued, “Everyone has their own opinion and I felt the need to voice my own. All I want is for everyone to love each other no matter what. Just please understand that it’s an extremely emotional time and we must try use love instead of hate”

“All of these things should have been addressed while someone is living, not the day after someones death,” she concluded.

Cara worked extensively with the late designer and she posted about him several times after his death.
