More importantly, don't marry a controlling jerk type guy. |
The event was an annual fundraiser for One805 - an organization that provides counselling and mental health services to first responders. It was started after the Woolsey fires in 2018. Costner provides his field and hosts the fundraiser, which this year was a music festival. It is attended by hundreds of people. Tickets are $350 or a table is $12000 with all proceeds going to One805.
Not sure why that is something to criticize. |
Sure, it’s a good cause. But it’s a PR event for Costner and celebs. And it’s interesting who showed up and how they all damaged reputations. They’re thirsty. |
This is the fifth or sixth year he has hosted it. It wasn't something he drummed up for his own divorce PR. Putting on a massive fundraiser like that is expensive and if he didn't host it, One805 wouldn't be able to run it. It kind of shows people are just about hating when they decide that hosting an annual funraiser for first responders in a community that had a massive wildfire is a sign of him being this horrible jerk just trying to redeem his image. That just shows a massive lack of critical thinking. He would have hosted the exact same event even if he had still been married. It was planned long before the divorce. People have lost perspective when they hate everything about someone - without discriminating if it is worth hating or not. Hating for the sake of hating is a pretty immature approach to life. |
We get it. You luv Kevin. Like I said, it’s a good cause. Let’s give him a big hand for reaching into his very deep pockets to host it. Hooray! I just think it’s interesting *who* showed up. There’s an article on DM this morning. It was the top story earlier. Oprah, Ellen, and Harry and Meghan…all of whom currently have damaged reputations. It’s a safe space they can show up for some easy PR. It’s interesting that better celebs didn’t show up. It’s plausible that Hollywood realizes Costner is damaged at the moment so they are steering clear. That’s all. Geez. |

All the press for the event seems reallllly thirsty. Hollywood royalty?!?! As if! The only celebs listed are Costner, Oprah, Ellen, and H&M…pretty much the local celebs from the fancy pants neighborhood in Montecito that benefitted from the help of the first responders in 2018. I mean, why not write a big check…Oprah…instead of selling tix and tables to regular folks? And why is Meghan wearing a heavy coat dress? She’s pictured alongside a woman wearing a tiny summer dress. I think she’s trying to emulate Kate’s style which works in chilly London but looks silly in CA. |
I am pretty sure it is H and Ms team putting out the PR as they are in every picture and post related to the event.
You have no idea who else was there. This is who H and M took pictures with, not a roll call of the event. I don't love Kevin at all. I don't even know him and I think the last Kevin Costner movie I saw was Dances with Wolves. I just don't have as much hatred towards anyone on earth as some on here have for Kevin. When you hate someone (you dont even know) so much that you have nothing but negative things to say about a fundraiser for mental health for first responders, it is time to take look inward. |
Ftr I don’t hate him. I only came to this thread after seeing all the Harry and Meghan press for the event. But I do believe Costner’s rep has been negatively impacted by his divorce and that might prompt celebs to steer clear. Remember: this isn’t Kevin’s first divorce. He has a bunch of kids with different women. He’s notorious for trading in for a younger model. And there’s nothing noble about that. Hosting an annual fundraiser doesn’t negate that. |
I think it's wonferful and humble to host an event at which you'll receive an award. |
Criticism of someone's behavior does not equate to hatred. Grow up. |
Meghan doesn’t need to emulate Kate’s style. Meghan’s style has always been better than Kate’s. |
They're from totally different backgrounds. Just depends on the type and style you prefer. |
I am convinced these posters are Christine’s, women previously married to wealthy men who didn’t get as much in the divorce as they wanted, and they are channeling their rage against their exes at Kevin in an online forum because everyone in their RL is tired of listening to their rants. |
And...why are YOU here? People sick of your rants? ![]() |
Your take is silly. You are claiming celebs who supported this worthy cause are trying to repair their image? One805 is probably wishing all celebs were in image repair mode. |
