Becky Hill, a queer music star, responded sharply to comedian Jack Whitehall's comment at the BRIT Awards, where he called her the 'Wetherspoons Whitney.' In her Instagram critique, Hill pointed out the privileged educational backgrounds of various award nominees, including Whitehall's, emphasizing her own working-class roots. Hill argued that her upbringing, marked by hard-working parents who struggled to provide for her, starkly contrasts with the advantages of her fellow nominees. Through her posts, she sought to challenge classism and highlight the struggles faced by artists from less privileged backgrounds.
Imagine being called a 'Wetherspoons Whitney' by some privately educated nepo baby who has a TV show with daddy the showbiz agent on national TV.
My parents worked so hard to provide a middle-class life for me, even though they couldn’t afford it. No one gave me a leg up, I wasn't near London so I couldn't go to the BRIT School.
