A statue honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, was met with mixed reactions online after it was unveiled Saturday in Boston.

The 22-foot tall bronze statue, dubbed “The Embrace,” was meant to capture a hug that Dr. King shared with his wife after he won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, CBS News reported.

The statue cost $10 million and was designed by Hank Willis Thomas and MASS Design Group, the report said. It is located in Freedom Plaza of the Boston Common.

Imari Paris Jeffries, executive director of Embrace Boston, the group responsible for overseeing the installation of the statue, said that he cried when he first saw it.

“And someone said to me, before I saw it for the first time, ‘Imagine when you see it, you’re going to cry,’” Jeffries said. “And I said, ‘I’ve seen monuments before. I’m not going to cry when I see a monument.’ And I actually did.”

“And despite the fact that we’re in the middle of the city, it is a quiet place. And so it’s a place of both contemplation and joy simultaneously,” he said. “And so I think it’s one of America’s most miraculous pieces of public art.”

While some liked the statue, many did not — especially from certain angles.

“There’s a sculptor somewhere giggling uncontrollably,” political commentator T. Beckett Adams tweeted. “Yes, yes, yes I know what you all think it looks like, you sickos and degenerates.”

Attorney Allan Richarz tweeted, “Is it really that hard to get a decent MLK statue?”

“This is a terrible sculpture,” content creator Jay D. Cartere tweeted. “It looks like someone grabbing a thigh [a] very different kind of ‘loving embrace.’”

“Yeah I thought it was fake at first,” political commentator Mike Cernovich responded. “Like a racist wanted to mock MLK.”

Reporter Jim Stinson tweeted, “Boston has some of the least impressive outdoor art. They could have done much better for the memory of MLK, who got his doctorate from BU.”

“Should have been lovely & inspiring—instead it’s hideous and depressing,” said Christina Sommers, Senior Fellow, AEI.

Former Pentagon official Amber Smith tweeted, “This is a horrible sculpture.”

“For the record, the big unveiling yesterday was only for VIPs and political hacks,” radio host Gerry Callahan tweeted. “Cops told us the public doesn’t get to see this monstrosity until February. Until then, the fences stay up.”

NYT best-selling author Morgan Jerkins tweeted, “This looks like….I’m tryna be respectful here but you’re making it hard.”

Britney Spears allegedly caused a scene Friday night at a restaurant in Los Angeles that resulted in her husband storming out of the establishment.

TMZ obtained video reportedly of Spears in the restaurant with her security guard, although it appears to have been taken shortly after the incident occurred.

Eyewitnesses told the publication that Spears and husband Sam Asghari were immediately recognized when they arrived at JOEY restaurant in Woodland Hills.

The publication said that the incident appears to have occurred after patrons started pulling out their phones and taking pictures of Spears, which caused her to get annoyed.

Eyewitnesses told TMZ that the singer became “manic” and began yelling gibberish, while Asghari became angry and left the restaurant.

The video posted by TMZ showed Spears holding up a menu to block her face from the person who was recording her.

Quickly after her husband left the restaurant, Spears also left, the report said. Her security guard returned later to pay the bill.

Jamie Spears, Britney Spears’ father, spoke out several weeks ago about the his daughter’s conservatorship, which he managed, after it came to an end over a year ago.

The conservatorship, which ended in November 2021, was in place for 13 years, The Daily Wire reported. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny granted the pop star’s petition to have the agreement terminated.

Penny’s order followed a hearing that September in which she suspended Jamie Spears from having control over Britney’s roughly $60 million estate. In Jamie Spears’ place, Penny appointed a certified public accountant.

Jamie Spears, 70, gave the interview to the Daily Mail, which said it was Spears’ first interview in more than a decade.

“Not everybody’s going to agree with me,” he said. “It’s been one hell of a time. But I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. Where would Britney be right now without that conservatorship? And I don’t know if she’d be alive. I don’t.”

Jamie Spears said that the conservatorship was needed to protect her children, and said that there were positive family moments along the way.

“We could take the kids to Europe. They didn’t miss time with their mother. They didn’t miss time with their father. Not many people knew that. The main purpose was to get Britney back with her kids in a comfortable relationship,” he said. “We did everything in the world with them.”

Jamie Spears said that most people “don’t have a clue what the truth is” regarding what personal things went on behind the scenes in reference to the conservatorship.

“The media has not heard the truth. They’ve heard the allegations from Britney,” he said. “I don’t mind taking that beating because I know it’s not true, and because I don’t want to start something else. For my daughter to end up going further down the hole than she had been.”
