Meet the World's Newest Celebrity Fake Vegan: Bella Ramsey

Looks like we have another one friends. Less than two minutes into their recent video with British Vogue, Bella Ramsey (of Game of Thrones and The Last of Us fame) drops this banger:

"I'm supposedly vegan, but I do now eat eggs. I have a reason. I'm allergic to peas, and pea protein is like the staple protein source for vegans, and I can't eat that, and I just don't really get any protein otherwise. So eggs are good for me, so there's always eggs in my fridge."

They also use honey in the recipe.

I don't need to say it, but this is obviously an unbelievably feeble excuse for renouncing veganism and returning to supporting animal commodification, and all of the cruelty that goes with that. The implication that pea protein is the only, or even primary, protein source for vegans, and that they just can't get protein without adding animal products, is grossly misinformed at best, and intentionally dishonest at worst.

I've learned at this point to have no faith in celebrities who claim to be vegan, largely because many of them are just nonsense plant-based fad dieters, but I feel deeply disappointed with Bella Ramsey here. I believed a lot more in Bella's veganism because they've been an outspoken advocate for animal liberation in the past and they did a wonderful collaboration with Earthling Ed last year. Somehow, a part of me felt that we finally had a real activist representing veganism among our celebrities. I guess the lesson here is that no matter who, no matter what kind of work they've done, it's never a good idea to have faith in a vegan celebrity.
