Music Manager Says ’Hatred And Fear’ Won’t Stop His Exhibit Honoring Those Killed At Music Festival By Hamas

Music manager Scooter Braun said “hatred and fear” will not make him take down his exhibit that honors all those who were killed at the Nova Music Festival by Hamas on October 7.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Braun talked about the inspiration for the exhibit and made it clear protestors outside the New York City location will not stop him, and in fact have only encouraged him to keep it going, promising they are headed to Los Angeles next.

On Monday, the “Nova: Oct. 7 6:29 am — The Moment Music Stood Still: The Nova Music Festival Exhibition” opened despite pro-Palestinian protestors who chanted anti-Semitic slogans. 

“I believe that most of these protestors are just incredibly misinformed, and some of the leaders of these protestors have an agenda of division,” Braun said. “And that’s not going to scare us, nor affect us. In fact, it inspires us to do it more and more. It’s more important for us to fight back, to show our shared humanity.”

Braun said he, along with Israeli organizers Yagil Simony, Ofir Amir, and Omri Sasi, brought the exhibit to the U.S. and said the project is not about politics. “It’s just about massacre at a music festival that should have never happened. But music is a universal language and music has to remain a safe place,” he explained.

The organizer of the Nova Exhibition @scooterbraun‘s response to yesterday’s protests:

Braun, with Holocaust-surviving grandparents, said when he traveled to Nova, what he saw was “horrifying” and he needed to show people because “so much of it was being denied and people were dehumanizing each other.”

“They weren’t there in a fight,” Braun said. “They were at a music festival dancing for peace, and they were brutally butchered, over 360 killed, over 40 hostages, the largest music massacre in history by a landslide.”

“What we’re trying to get people to see is there’s nothing political about this exhibit. You don’t walk in and see flags,” he added. “You’ll see it is a music festival. You’ll see Coachella. You’ll see Stagecoach. You’ll see Governors Ball. And that’s all we want people to see, that you should be able to have empathy for all people.”

“Right now it’s at 35 Wall Street in New York City,” Braun continued. “In response to these protestors, I called the team and extended it in New York for another week because we’ve decided to show people that we’re not going to allow hatred and fear to divide us. In fact, we’re going to go longer now in New York just so people can bear witness and understand what this is really about. And we’re not going to let this loud minority divide us. And in fact, I’ve invited those protestors if they’re willing to come in and see the exhibit for themselves.”

Kamala Harris Blames Vice Presidency As Reason She’s Cursing More

Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she’s picked up a bad habit since taking office in 2021 — she’s been cursing more than she ever has before.

During a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the reporter asked Harris what is something that she’s done differently since being sworn in as President Joe Biden’s second-in-command — and she mentioned when the VP recently dropped an F-bomb during a live-streamed White House event.

“I had to! I had to!” Harris told the reporter, after telling the WH group sometimes “you need to kick that f***ing door down,” when it comes to opportunities. 

“What have I done differently since I’ve been in this office? I curse more! “ she added while laughing. “Although, kind of. I don’t know. It’s not a new language to me, and I think when one speaks the language, one should get the pronunciation down. My pronunciation is very good, thank you very much!”

.@KamalaHarris talks to Rolling Stone about her inclination to protect people—even getting into a fight at a young age to stop a bully.

“I hate bullies. I can’t abide by people who use their power in a way that is intended to diminish other people.”

“So approaching my work — always challenging traditions, not accepting status quo, knowing what’s possible, even if it hasn’t been done before — I also know how difficult it can be to propose, and require, new approaches,” the VP continued. “When people hear “status quo,” they think, “Oh, static.” But let me tell you — and it’s a learned experience for me — status quo is anything but static. Status quo is quite dynamic. You start trying to change status quo, you fuck with status quo, it will fight you.”

During the same RS interview, Harris was asked about an abortion case in front of the Supreme Court and the reporter quoted Harris as saying, at the time, “’It’s f***ed up.”

In May, Harris let an F-bomb slip during the WH event and immediately asked the audience to “excuse” her language.

Harris made the comment during a conversation with comedian Jimmy O. Yang (“Crazy Rich Asians”) — during the annual Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies Legislative Leadership Summit — about how minorities needed to stand up for themselves.

During the event – which is a part of the White House’s efforts to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month — Yang began with a question about Harris’ experience as the first woman to be elected to the vice presidency.

“We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open,” the vice president said, noting that some opportunities were easier to come by than others — and suggesting that sometimes it was necessary for people to make their own opportunities.

“Sometimes they won’t, and then you need to kick that f***ing door down,” she said, adding, “Excuse my language.”
