Gal Gadot says she was ‘never forbidden’ from wearing hostage pin at Golden Globes

Hollywood superstar Gal Gadot says she was never told she couldn’t wear a hostage pin to the Golden Globes, weighing in on the controversy that has surrounded her in recent days.

“It’s important for me to clarify: I was never forbidden from wearing a pin at the Golden Globes,” Gadot writes on Instagram, after an unnamed representative of the actress was widely quoted as saying she was. “Some people chose to tell a story that never happened, and I prefer to focus on what’s real and truly important – our hostages.”

Gadot writes that “everyone expresses their support in a way that suits them. I chose to share a post with global reach and wear a yellow ring as a symbol of solidarity. What truly matters is that the hostages come home now. My heart is with the families waiting for them.”
