13 Times Celebs Were Blatantly Ableist

According to StopAbleism.com, ableism is "a set of practices and beliefs that assign inferior value (worth) to people who have developmental, emotional, physical or psychiatric disabilities."

And since July is Disability Pride Month, we wanted to point out instances where celebrities — whom many people look up to — say or do things that are blatantly ableist. Here are some instances we all can learn from:

1.When Gal Gadot tweeted this tribute to Stephen Hawking after he died, which said he's now "free of any physical constraints":
