Ben Stiller responded to a fake report claiming he and other celebrities received taxpayer money for promoting U.S. support for Ukraine, emphasizing that he self-funded his trip to Kyiv. Stiller refuted claims of receiving $4 million from USAID, stating he was there as a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR. He criticized the amateur production of the video citing the false claims. Angelina Jolie faced similar accusations, which she also denied, reinforcing her role as a special envoy with the UNHCR throughout her work in Ukraine.
I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payment of any kind.
The video used a logo for E! News but appeared to be amateurishly done and lacking the entertainment site's usually glitzy production values.
These are lies coming from Russian media, the Zoolander actor said on X in response to the video's claim that he received $4 million from the embattled agency.
The outrageous claim that Angelina Jolie received $20 million from USAID is also false, as she visited for her ongoing work with the UNHCR.
