Ricky Gervais Deletes X Posts After Rebuking Political Speeches at the Emmys

The comedian weighed in after pro-Palestine messages featured prominently at the 2025 Emmys.

Overview

  • Gervais reposted his 2020 Golden Globes line cautioning winners against political speeches, adding the comment, "They’re still not listening."
  • Deadline reports the post was later removed from his X account, and he also un-shared a related retweet, though he continues to circulate older clips of the monologue.
  • Hannah Einbinder ended her acceptance speech with "Go Birds, f*** ICE and free Palestine," while red-carpet displays included cease-fire pins, a "CEASE FIRE!" handbag, and Javier Bardem’s keffiyeh and "Free Palestine" remarks.
  • Bardem referenced the International Association of Genocide Scholars and called for sanctions on Israel, aligning with a Film Workers for Palestine pledge signed by many industry figures, including Einbinder and several A‑list actors.
  • Reaction to Gervais’ stance on X was divided, with supporters praising his message and critics accusing him of hypocrisy or dismissing the need for celebrity advocacy.
