After nearly assembled on the boardwalk at Huntington Beach on Friday, April Love Geary slammed the demonstrators for their ‘absurd’ actions amid the pandemic.
‘I’m so embarrassed to be from Hunting Beach right now, because of all the f*cking protests going on Main Street,’ she said in an expletive rant on her Instagram Story. ‘Half of you old a**, privileged a** white people don’t even go to the beach!’
Robin Thicke’s 25-year-old fiancée, who boasts a mixed background of Mexican, Irish, Dutch and French, proceeded to shame reckless protesters, who ignored social distancing guidelines and failed to wear masks.

‘It’s the most white privilege bullsh*t to protest, because you can’t go to the beach!’ she scoffed.
Clearly incensed by the crowds resistance to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s order to close the beaches, she reminded her followers that people of color get killed, shot and tasered for simply living their lives peacefully.
‘There are black people because killed and shot for nothing,’ the model said, before encouraging these groups to support legitimate causes, like Black Lives Matter.

Her rage clearly festered, as she filmed additional Instagram Stories from her backyard and feigned no sympathy for organizers, as she told them to ‘cry at home.’
After cooling off a bit, she filmed an additional statement acknowledging her privilege.
‘I know my father is white, I’m engaged to a white man, I know my kids are white, I know I have white family members,’ she said. ‘But, I don’t use my white privilege to protest not being able to go to the beach.’

She added: ‘I use my privilege to speak for people who can’t or are too afraid to speak.’
She also pointed out the closures are only temporary and necessary after ‘disturbing’ images showed thousands flocking to the sands last weekend.
Many who have been stuck inside for weeks criticized Newsom for policing the population and mocked him for trying to be an ‘all-powerful’ leader as police on horseback kept the crowds in line, reported.

Gov. Newsom continued to urge people to stay at home during his press conference Friday despite the criticism, adding that the ‘only thing that is assured to advance the spread of the virus is thousands of people congregating together, not practicing social distancing or physical distancing.’
‘If we can avoid that, then we’re going to get to the other side of this with modifications a lot quicker,’ he said. ‘And I just hope people will consider that.’
