Jessica Alba has come under fire from her followers after posting a video of herself with Vice President Kamala Harris discussing the power of Latina small businesses. The video, shared on Instagram, shows Alba standing beside Harris in a matching pantsuit while Harris speaks about the growth of Latina-owned businesses. Many of Alba’s 20.6 million Instagram followers were quick to criticize the post, with some calling it “super creepy” and “cringe-worthy.”
In the video, Harris highlights the ambition and aspirations of Latina entrepreneurs, while Alba agrees, snapping her fingers and nodding. The clip was met with thousands of comments, many mocking Alba for her awkward presence and the matching outfits, with one user jokingly asking if the pair got their suits from a department store. Other followers were more critical, expressing disappointment in Alba for participating in the video, with some even pledging to stop supporting her company, Honest Co.
Some commenters were also critical of Harris, accusing her of failing to provide clear solutions for helping small businesses access capital. Others took issue with Harris’s speaking style, accusing her of using a different accent during the video.
Alba, known for her acting career and her entrepreneurial success, has not responded to the backlash, but the video continues to draw attention across social media platforms.
