A PETA Protestor Attempted To Cause A Scene At Pharrell's Movie Premiere In Toronto, And Watching Her Brain Melt After He Tried To Have A Conversation With Her Was A Beautiful Thing

Bravo Pharrell! What a masterclass from one of the biggest class acts in music and (checks notes) now fashion. 

This occurred  in Toronto last night at The Toronto Film Festival premiere of Pharrell Williams‘ LEGO-fied animated biopic Piece By Piece. 

Last summer, the famous fashion line named Pharrell Williams creative director of its men's fashion line, an honor previously overseen by the late Virgil Abloh. 

Last night, Williams hopped on stage to introduce his film and this wacko PETA protestor sprang to her feet, ripped out her poster from under her shirt, and started screaming PETA things. 

Now, choosing a LEGO movie to show up at and protest a leather company for animal rights is a head scratcher for some, but PETA doesn't discriminate. They get in wherever they can.

Williams could not have remained more calm and collected. Rather politely, he allowed her to scream he was a baby animal killer, and instructed security not to (immediately) forcibly remove her. Instead, he said "God Bless you", asked the crowd to do the same, and then attempted to have a conversation with her.

You can actually see the moment in time where this lady's brain breaks.

There she was, clutching her homemade sign, Row AA, smack dab center stage, 5 feet away from the man she came to demonize, and there he was crouched down looking her dead in the eye telling her "you are right. God Bless you."

All this lady came to do was make a scene, and ruin what was supposed to be a celebration of a pretty large achievement for a lot of people involved in this movie, and an escape from the depressing reality of real life through animated cinema for the audience. She had one gameplan. Yell as loud as she could, the same thing over and over, until security grabbed her by both arms. At which point she'd pull a Portnoy and go straight dead-fish. 

Then get dragged out as everybody in attendance looked on in admiration as they all had epiphanies. "You know what? Pharrell really is a baby animal murdering piece of shit. We are done with him, done with Louis Vuitton, done with leather, hell, done with fashion and clothes altogether. And they were quitting their jobs and joing her on the front lines of the PETA calvary" they would think to themselves. Today she was going to change the world.

But things didn't go according to her little plan. 

Pharrell told her she was right(?) and told security not to kick her out so that he could instead address her. What the fuck was she supposed to do now?

Because like 99.9% of "protestors" today, she wasn't interested in discourse or civil conversation. She just wanted to shout demeaning things over and over like a broken record and cause a scene. That's how they achieve their mission objective. Not by actually speaking their mind, voicing their opinion calmly and logically, and then allowing the other side to do the same. They're right, everybody else is wrong, black and white, cut and dry, end of story. It's freaking insanity.

Props to Pharrell for conducting himself so well. That right there was how it's done. LV has got to be proud as hell of their leadership choice.
