Mark Ruffalo has taken aim at Kevin O'Leary, star of the reality show "Shark Tank," after he weighed in on Billie Eilish's Grammys acceptance speech. In a post on Threads, Ruffalo told O'Leary to "STFU" and called out his hypocrisy.
O'Leary had previously criticized Eilish's speech on Fox News, suggesting that as she rose to fame, she should learn the first lesson of 101: "shut your mouth and just entertain." However, when it comes to her criticism of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), O'Leary seems to be taking a different approach.
Ruffalo saw right through this double standard. "It's hilarious," he wrote. "You will go on any show and talk shit about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100's of millions of people the world over."
In fact, Ruffalo seemed to think O'Leary played himself well in his recent role as Marty Mauser on "Marty Supreme," where he portrayed a ruthless businessman who finances a ping pong player's career while humiliating him in grotesque ways. This made O'Leary's criticism of Eilish seem all the more hypocritical.
The controversy surrounding Eilish's Grammys speech has sparked a heated debate, with many taking to social media to express their support for her and others criticizing her comments as insensitive or divisive. However, Mark Ruffalo's scathing critique of O'Leary's hypocrisy suggests that some people are more concerned with projecting a certain image than actually taking a stand on important issues.

can't believe kevin o'leary thinks he can diss billie eilish and get away with it, meanwhile he's got his own "shark tank" show where he preys on struggling entrepreneurs 
what a double standard! mark ruffalo called him out for being a total hypocrite and i gotta agree 
. If Kevin O'Leary is gonna come for Billie Eilish, at least have the guts to do it in a real conversation, you know? Instead he's just spouting off on Fox News and then pretending to be some kind of social justice warrior when he criticizes her on Threads... 
Like, have you seen that show "Marty Supreme" where O'Leary plays a ruthless businessman? 
! He basically tells her to shut up and entertain, which is just rich coming from someone who got roasted for his own hypocrisy on the show. I mean, Marty Mauser, right? That's a pretty clear case of projection 
. And let's be real, O'Leary's whole "shut your mouth" vibe just doesn't translate when it comes to actually having a conversation about important issues like immigration reform or social justice. It's all about him being the "tough guy" who knows what's best, but really he's just trying to avoid getting called out for his own biases. Mark Ruffalo is totally on point here 
AND YEAH, IT'S HILARIOUS THAT RUFFALO CALLED HIM OUT FOR HIS HYPOCRISY! 
KEVIN O'LEARY NEEDS TO TAKE A Seat! 
. Like, if you're gonna make fun of people for being outspoken then at least have the decency to do it in a way that doesn't make you look like a total tool 
kevin o'leary is all about trying to play the victim when it comes to billie eilish's comments, but at the same time he's been super harsh towards her and other artists who speak out on important issues. like what even is his game? 
. If Mark Ruffalo can see right through it, then we should all be paying attention. This whole thing has me thinking... who's really just mad that someone's using their platform to speak out? 
.
, but at the same time I'm like, what if she just didn't say anything about them and left everyone to think that's okay? 
. Mark Ruffalo called him out and I am here for it 
.
like seriously O'Leary is all about criticizing billie eilish for speaking her mind but then he does the same thing on fox news 
ruffalo is right O'Leary is all about projecting an image and not actually standing up for what's important 
.
? I mean, if he's going to criticize someone for using their platform, at least try to put in some actual work 
.
