In a recent interview with Stereogum, Alice Cooper expressed transphobic views and criticized gender-affirming health care. As a result, Vampyre Cosmetics, a goth-themed makeup brand that prides itself on being owned by women, disabled individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, has decided to drop their partnership with Cooper just two weeks after signing the deal (source: New York Post).
Vampyre Cosmetics made an announcement on Instagram stating that they will no longer be collaborating with Cooper due to his recent statements. The brand stands in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community and believes in equal access to healthcare. They have promised to refund all pre-order sales of the makeup collaboration.
During the Stereogum interview, Cooper expressed concern about men claiming to be transgender in order to exploit access to women’s bathrooms for sexual assault. This argument has been widely debunked as an anti-LGBTQ myth. Cooper’s remarks raised questions about where the line should be drawn in these situations, potentially implying that sexual assault is an inevitable consequence of transgender rights.
In addition to his controversial remarks on transgender issues, Cooper also criticized gender-affirming health care. He expressed doubts about the authenticity of individuals identifying as transgender and suggested that it has become a trendy choice rather than a genuine identity. He specifically mentioned his concern for young children being confused by the concept.
Cooper’s troubles did not end there. In another recent interview with Vulture, he dismissed the highly publicized defamation trial between his friend Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard, claiming that it was blown out of proportion. Cooper expressed confidence in Depp’s innocence and believed that he would prevail in the trial due to the support of multiple exes testifying on his behalf. Cooper’s stance on the matter may have garnered criticism considering the seriousness of the allegations against Depp.
It remains to be seen how Cooper’s comments and beliefs will impact his career and public perception moving forward.
