Bill Maher Blasts Celebrities' COVID-19 Hypocrisy Years After Gal Gadot Called 'Imagine' Video Poor Taste

Summary
On his "Club Random" podcast, Bill Maher said wealthy celebrities falsely sold COVID-19 as a shared struggle while living comfortably and relying on others to deliver food and essentials.
Maher argued the divide was obvious because affluent Americans could flee cities for places like the Hamptons or Aspen, while lower-paid workers kept apps like Grubhub and grocery delivery running.
Byron Allen, Maher's guest, said even New Yorkers came around to preferring houses during the pandemic, reinforcing Maher's point that money let some people escape conditions others had to endure.
One emblem of that disconnect was the celebrity "Imagine" singalong featuring Gal Gadot, Will Ferrell and others; Gadot later acknowledged the video was "in poor taste."
