Contrary to Gal Gadot’s claim, Golden Globes clarify: ‘False—there was no prohibition on wearing any type of pin’

Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who presented an award at this week’s Golden Globes ceremony, faced backlash in Israel for not wearing a yellow ribbon symbolizing solidarity with hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. In response, Gadot’s representatives claimed she was adhering to event rules while on stage.

However, the event's organizers denied these claims, issuing a statement that no such policy exists. “There is no policy against political accessories. There was no prohibition on wearing any type of pin, including in the case of Gal Gadot. Any other claim is completely false,” the organization said in an email.

The full statement, obtained by Ynet, clarified: “The Golden Globes has no policy prohibiting pins or symbols supporting, or perceived to support, political or social causes. Furthermore, no instructions were given to Gal Gadot or any other presenter/participant at the Golden Globes prohibiting the wearing of a ribbon or any other symbol during the ceremony or related events.

"As you know, over the years, wearing pins and symbols has been a part of the ceremonies for various causes and issues, and we do not restrict what guests choose to wear."

Hours before the event, Gadot addressed her Instagram followers, posting a message referencing the recent sign of life from hostage Liri Albag.

"On a personal level, while I prepare for an exciting and festive evening, my heart is heavy and my soul is tormented by the fact that the hostages are still there. Every day that passes without an agreement endangers their lives," she wrote to her 108 million followers. "I cannot imagine the lives of the families waiting for them, counting the hours and minutes. They must come home. We all deserve to see them return alive."
