Ruby Rose speaks up on Kanye West-Taylor Swift controversy for feminism’s sake
High-profile star Ruby Rose cannot keep silent when Kanye West is bashing Taylor Swift with his derogatory lyrics. The “Orange is the New Black” star has not only distanced herself from the rapper but has also made her opinions loud and clear. The gender-fluid actor and model has warned West for crossing too many lines recently.
Rose took to Twitter to vent her frustration. She is not very happy with West’s recent controversial comments on a number of issues including that of Bill Cosby and Amber Rose and women in general.
Too many lines crossed. If I put myself in the shoes of the women he has hurt recently. Victims of Bill Cosby, The Slut shaming, Amber...

“Too many lines crossed. If I put myself in the shoes of the women he has hurt recently. Victims of Bill Cosby, The Slut shaming, Amber...,” Rose wrote in one of the two tweets.
In the other tweet, she showerd her support for “friend” Swift and also mentioned the fact that she can’t really call West a friend anymore. Neither can she support him in any way and then call herself a feminist.
And now my dear friend Taylor.. Right before another huge moment for her.. Can I still support him and call myself a feminist? A friend? No.

The reason that led to Rose losing her cool was primarily West’s lyrics for his song “Famous” from album “T.O.L.P,” where he raps saying, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b***h famous.”
West’s artistic output has been overshadowed by his choice of words after a backlash against his lyrics targeting Taylor Swift. After frustrated reactions from Jaime King and Gigi Hadid, Rose has highlighted numerous controversial comments West has made recently.
This includes his slut-shaming remarks for Amber Rose and his remarks on Bill Cosby’s innocence, writes Independent.
Going by the lyrics, West is probably referring to his infamous outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where he stormed on stage and unleashed a rant during Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video.
