Did celebrities have to be paid to endorse Kamala?: Even those of us who were appalled by Kamala Harris’s campaign, the ever more embarrassing interviews during which she could not answer the simplest of questions unless they were what she ate for breakfast, did not realize that employing celebrity endorsers cost millions of dollars. Most of us probably assumed that those who graced her rally stages or interviewed her for television or podcasts did so because they actually supported her. We were wrong.
Many of them — even Oprah, who is worth three billion dollars — got paid to interview her. She got one million (h/t Jesse Watters). Cardi B got $2.5M. Beyoncé allegedly got even more and did not even sing.
These super-rich star endorsers deny this, of course, and the posts that revealed the payments have been removed. But it makes sense.
