She is continuing to use her platform to peddle insane and dangerous conspiracy theories. It didn't begin and end with her anti-vax nonsense. She is clearly deep into this shit if she's promoting Rumble.

The Instagram post has, of course, since been deleted.

Evangeline Lilly took to Instagram to share a poster for an upcoming live stream hosted by former actor and current media personality Russell Brand.

This stream, titled "WEF Royal Rumble" comes on the heels of this year's World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, a conference featuring a host of economic and political leaders discussing the state of the world. According to Brand's own post promoting the stream, it is for anyone who has "Ever been called a 'Conspiracy Theorist'" and claims to help get people "understanding what the WEF is up to!"

The image shared by Brand and, subsequently, promoted by Lilly, features political, technological, and economic leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Justin Trudeau, dressed as WWE wrestlers, seemingly suggesting some sort of underground collusion between the group's members.

Brand has championed COVID conspiracy theories in the past, helping to push pieces of disinformation surrounding topics like Ivermectin and vaccinations into the mainstream.

I'm sure this will get the same exact backlash that the Shuri actress got.

My fave is when these nuts give a simpleton like Trudeau this much credit that he'd be part of some worldwide conspiracy lol

2020–present: COVID-19 pandemic and YouTube channel

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brand's YouTube channel underwent an increase in activity and change in political direction veering heavily in the direction of COVID denialism and conspiracy theories,[166] which led to an increase in popularity and has amassed more than 5.64 million subscribers and 726 million views.[167]

Due to having one of his videos taken down in September 2022 due to YouTube's policy on medical misinformation,[168] he moved his channel to Rumble where he has launched a new daily live show, Stay Free with Russell Brand.[169][170]

But wait there's more

Brand was ejected from the GQ Awards show on 3 September 2013 after receiving the "Oracle" award. In his acceptance speech, he mentioned sponsor Hugo Boss's former business making uniforms for the Gestapo. Brand said of the Nazis, "They did look fucking fantastic, let's face it" before he goose stepped across the stage in a comical imitation of the Nazi march. Brand was eventually ejected from the event after GQ editor Dylan Jones confronted Brand with his view that the speech was "very offensive"—Brand replied by saying that the Nazis' treatment of the Jewish people was "very offensive".[174][175]

Fuck this shit. Quantumania can go burn. It can be the best MCU movie for all I care, but Marvel can fuck off for keeping her.

One of the few, if not the only one who made it big out of Lost, and she squanders it away.

They have Kathryn Newton / Cassie to fall back on now in case they want to throw her out for future stuff.

Gross.

Hopefully Quantumania is her last MCU film, or she checks herself real quick. Doubtful on the latter though, considering her history.

Quantumania finished filming in Nov/Dec 2021, and she only went " the convoy people made a good point" and protested alongside the convoy in Feb 2022. She did however complain about covid restrictions early on and talked about not wanting to social distance or do a lockdown but she apologised after.

This Rumble thing is taking it to the next level. Just so disappointing.
