Red-pilled celebrities don't happen by accident.
It often means they ran head-first into a woke wall. Fitness guru Jillian Michaels recalled being told that her age and skin color would work against her moving forward, ignoring her decades of experience making us healthier and happier.
Now, she's part of a right-leaning celebrity culture, often weighing in on matters that connect with the MAHA movement.
I haven’t changed in my mind ... the world is changing around me.
Dr. Drew Pinsky had a change of heart, in part, because he asked tough but fair questions early in the pandemic and was branded a ghoul for his troubles.
One could argue Bill Maher is mid-red pill transformation. He's an old-school liberal who can't stop raging against the Left's many outrageous positions, from trans women competing against biological women to the DSA's unhinged platform.
Imagine there's no prisons. It's easy if you try ... and extremely dangerous.
Now, it's Boy George's turn.
The former Culture Club crooner hasn't been politically active in recent years. Sure, he offered his personal, gender-bending style to '80s culture, a time when gay rights were hardly on the front burner. Lately? Not so much.
That all changed when he dared to defend Israel for defending itself.
The singer's new tune, "We Will Dance Again," takes the Jewish nation's side in the intractable Middle East conflict and honors the Israelis killed on Oct. 7. That made him an enemy in the eyes of too many on the Left. The fallout? He had to fire his "gutless" label manager for refusing to release the new track.
He also had to quit a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" due to intense, anti-Israel blowback.
Now, he's using social media to share his new perspectives on life. And he's not holding back.

In the last few months, my life has changed beyond all compare. I made a decision to support my Jewish friends and without hesitation. I feel anxious almost everywhere I go but I do not regret my decision. I have seen friends that I have helped and supported turn on me without a conversation. It hurts because I know that not only do they know Jewish people but they have benefited hugely from the association with Jews. British Jews have always made London better from Philip Sallon's crazy nightclubs to the brick lane Bagel shop. More importantly and most shocking is that many of these anti Isreal people have zero political instincts. They only care because it has become fashionable to care. I would go as far to say that they are the biggest and most hideous cowardly fakes to walk this earth.
The singer also addressed fellow musician Macklemore, who made headlines recently for using his appearance at an Ed Sheeran concert to push generic, anti-Israel sentiments.
it's important to note that slogans such as 'Free Palestine' offer the appearance of moral courage without requiring much political knowledge. @edsheeran clearly has no spine and as for @Palomafaith and her stupid virtuous squealing of delight about Mackle-bore when she is about as political as a soggy tuna sandwich.
Boy George even shared a sentiment that once would have been seen as liberal but now it's coded to the Right.
The joy is living in a democracy, even a flawed one, is that we get to have opposing opinions. God bless freedom of speech.
The Left cheers on free speech only when liberals flex it. They sat on their collective hands for more than a decade as woke scolds and Cancel Culture ravaged the West's.
That means they don't actually believe in the First Amendment. it's not a conditional matter.
It turns out Boy George looks good in red.
