Rosalía Addresses Backlash Over Palestine Silence: ‘Shaming Each Other Is Not the Best Way'
Rosalía has become the latest public figure to face pressure regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On Wednesday (July 30), the superstar published an Instagram Story expressing her sentiment over the escalating situation in Palestine while responding to her critics. The spotlight on her intensified after Spanish fashion designer Miguel Adrover cited her 'silence' as the reason he refused to collaborate with the artist on a custom project.

She also condemned the violence in the region, noting, 'It is terrible to see innocent people being killed day after day, and those who should stop this are not doing so.' However, Rosalía took issue with the 'shaming' she has faced, suggesting that condemnation between individuals is not as productive as holding decision-makers accountable. 'I do not see how shaming each other is the best way to move forward in the fight for Palestinian freedom,' she said, arguing that 'the finger should be pointed upwards (towards those who make decisions and have the power to act) and not horizontally (between us).' Rosalía also acknowledged her own imperfections and contradictions: 'In today's world, we all live in constant contradiction, myself included,' she added, before expressing her respect for those actively working to make a difference, including NGOs, activists, journalists and volunteers. Her remarks come after Miguel Adrover publicly refused to design for the MOTOMAMI singer. The designer, known for his political outspokenness, took to Instagram on Tuesday (July 29) to reveal that he had turned down a request for a custom-made dress for Rosalía. 'Doing 'The Right Thing'… Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big loudspeaker where millions of people listen to you when you sing,' Adrover wrote in the caption. 'That's why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide.' In the third slide of that post, Adrover shared a screenshot of an email exchange with Rosalía's team regarding the collaboration. 'I'm sorry, but Miguel doesn't work with any artist who doesn't publicly support Palestine,' the reply read. Addressing the Spanish artist directly, Adrover further added in the caption, 'Rosalía, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you've achieved […] Now we have to do 'The Right Thing.' Though Rosalía had previously avoided extensive public commentary, fans noted that she had shared an Instagram Story in October 2023 to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Denmark's Boston Beer Company bags Perth Royal Beer Award for The Right nut brown ale
Denmark brewery Boston Beer Company has won top honours for its dark ale at this year's Perth Royal Beer Awards, taking out the best amber — dark ale packaged category with its beer The Right. The Perth Royal Beer Awards recognise the State's best brewing, with this year's competition drawing 447 entries across eight categories – from pilsners and stouts to sours and IPAs – submitted by 45 breweries and evaluated by a panel of 47 independent judges. Boston's head brewer Reid Stratton said the award was a well-earned honour for the brewing team. 'We've been recognised for the really hard work that the brewing team does, and you often don't see a lot of the work that goes into the brewing, we're here early in the morning, toiling away, and making it all happen behind the scenes,' he said. 'So, a couple of times a year during these competitions it is a really great chance to recognise the really hard work that the team's been doing, and it just gives everyone a bit of a boost and a bit of a reminder that there are people out there really enjoying our beers and I really think to get that feedback is really valuable.' Margaret River Beer Co. snagged the coveted champion beer trophy for its In The Pines IPA, as well as best IPA draught and five gold medals. Head brewer Ryan Allen marked the moment in style by drinking straight from the trophy. Each beer was blind-judged against five key criteria – appearance, aroma, flavour, style and technical quality – with medals earned through strict benchmarks of excellence. Mr Stratton categorised Boston's The Right as a versatile crowd-pleaser. 'It's a beer we've been making from new year's at the brewery and has won awards in the past,' he said. 'It's kind of one of those perfect in-between beers, it's not our bestselling beer, but it's got a really awesome following of people that just love it.' Boston is always cooking up something new, and Mr Stratton said he was excited about a new quartet of beers being released this Friday. The new release will be called the Biscuit Tin Quartet, with one beer in each four-pack flavoured after a different kind of popular biscuit, including Wagon Wheels, chocolate chip cookies and mint slice.
