It’s been reported that what she modeled for was actually a Marlin Lives Matter organization focused on preventing white and blue marlin from being overfished, which used ‘white lives matter’ and ‘blue lives matter’ messaging on its promotional shirts and hats.
We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and any cause that fights to end injustices for people of color.
Unequivocally, the White Lives Matter movement does not reflect the values of the Cosmo brand.
In my view, the nature of the organization is neither here nor there—both phrases and the belief systems they represent are rooted in racism and therefore problematic.
