‘Let them eat cake’: Why one influencer is facing backlash over her TikTok

TikToker Haley Kalil, who goes by HaleyyBaylee online, apologized for posting a video to the “let them eat cake” audio in a Marie Antoinette-inspired dress at the 2024 Met Gala. The post sparked the movement #blockout2024, which aims to cut off celebrities’ and influencers’ online power and digital revenue to pressure them to use their platform to speak about the war in Gaza.
