Back in 2023, Jamie Lee Curtis found herself amidst relentless scrutiny over her stance on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The Oscar-winner has once again garnered criticism over her recent comments on LA wildfires, which have proven to be one of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles history.
With over 150,000 people being forced to evacuate, many notable figures, including Curtis, have lost their homes to the fire. Although theEverything Everywhere All at Oncestar has come forward to support the victims, her recent analogy of the disaster has commenced a firestorm in x.

In the last three days, the destructive fire in LA has impacted thousands, almost wiping out the entirety of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

ConsideringJamie Lee Curtisresided in that neighborhood along with her family, while weeping over the devastation, the actress drew parallels between LA’s current situation with other war-torn countries, including Gaza (viaX).
The entire city of Pacific Palisades is gone, I mean literally my neighbourhood gone. My house tonight is still there, but I live in a different canyon. But the entire Pacific Palisades looks like, you know, unfortunately Gaza or one of these war-torn countries where awful things have happened.
This hasn’t sat well with many, as some claimed that the comparison of the two regions was in poor taste, accusing Curtis of being tone-deaf.
This is a completely atrocious comparison considering this is the same woman who advocated for Israel’s genocide in Gaza
