‘Hacks’ star Hannah Einbinder blasted for controversial Emmys 2025 speech

Hannah Einbinder is being blasted by critics for her controversial speech about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Palestine at the 2025 Emmys.

When the “Hacks” star, who stunned in a one-shoulder Louis Vuitton sequin gown, took the stage to receive her Emmy award for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series on Sunday, she closed her speech with a shout-out to the Philadelphia Eagles — and a political statement.

“Go Birds, f–k ICE and free Palestine,” she shouted during the live ceremony.

Though the ending of her speech was censored on the live broadcast, the raw version quickly emerged on social media. Naturally, fans had mixed reactions about Einbinder’s remarks.

“Any Jewish actress who uses her 15 minutes of fame to show support for the terrorists holding 48 hostages in Gaza has no moral compass. And the naive Hollywood audience that applauded her immoral statement is equally reprehensible. Hannah Einbinder was a real loser at the Emmys,” tweeted one person on X.

“No clue who Hannah is but way to end whatever was left of your career,” added another.

“She’s a nobody actress that was unheard of and landed in the series ‘Hacks’ on HBO. In 10 yrs she will be doing commercials,” claimed a third netizen.

“Hannah is a very brave young woman Most of Hollywood are keeping their mouths shut About the ongoing genocide,” wrote one supporter.

“Powerful words from Hannah Einbinder honoring truth and justice while standing for Palestine,” added another person.

A third fan claimed Einbinder, 30, used her voice for “justice and freedom.”

After the Emmys, Einbinder — who also rocked a red Artists4Ceasefire pin, showing her support for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza — spoke to reporters about why she felt the need to voice her opinion on political matters during the star-studded awards show.

“I thought it was important to talk about Palestine because it’s an issue that’s very dear to my heart,” she said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

“I have friends in Gaza who are working as frontline workers, as doctors right now in the north of Gaza to provide care for pregnant women and for school children, to create schools in the refugee camps, and it’s an issue that’s really close to my heart,” the stand-up comedian added.

“For many reasons, I feel like it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel … Boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure on the powers that be to meet the moment. So the Film Workers for Palestine boycott does not boycott individuals, it only boycotts institutions that are directly complicit in the genocide.”
