“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot has just made waves online by announcing the launch of a new podcast series called The Conscious Thread, in which she will chat with pioneers in the field of sustainable fashion – from material scientists to ethical brand founders. The project is expected to help raise awareness about environmental protection in the fashion industry, which is considered one of the world’s top polluters.

The first episode of the show was scheduled to air next week. However, the plan was unexpectedly disrupted when Gal Gadot was caught up in a controversial scandal involving tech billionaire Elon Musk – who is said to have a “behind-the-scenes” role in the project.

Rumors of hidden sponsorship – the trigger of scandal

According to some sources from the US media, Elon Musk secretly provided financial support for Gal Gadot’s podcast series, including production costs, marketing and distribution on his own audio platform. This made the public skeptical about the “transparency” of the program, especially when the topic that Gadot aimed at was sustainability and ethics in business – values ​​that Musk had been criticized for being “inconsistent” in his projects.

A cultural critic on social network X (formerly Twitter) commented:

“It’s ironic that a program about ‘ethics and the environment’ has the mark of Elon Musk – who is accused of over-exploiting resources to produce electric cars.”

Soon after the rumor spread, the hashtag #GalGadotMuskScandal climbed to the top of global trends, attracting millions of divisive comments.

Fans divided, project at risk of being postponed

While some fans defended Gal Gadot, saying she was only “collaborating professionally” and not involved in financial activities, many others called for a boycott of the podcast. Some said the actress was “betraying the message of transparency and fairness” that she once pursued.

Gal Gadot’s representative has remained silent, only confirming that the first episode of The Conscious Thread “will not be released this week as planned.” That further fueled public opinion that the scandal is having a real impact on the project’s schedule.

From “Wonder Woman” to a wave of controversy

Gal Gadot is admired for her strong, compassionate image and pioneering humanitarian activities. However, this incident has put her in the center of a media storm. A Los Angeles PR expert commented:

“If Gal Gadot does not quickly speak up to clarify, the image of the ‘green feminist icon’ that she has built could be severely damaged.”

From a project expected to inspire sustainable fashion, The Conscious Thread has now become the center of controversy about ethics and power. Can Gal Gadot overcome this storm and get her show back on track? Or will this be the first crack in Hollywood’s image of the ‘perfect heroine’?

The answer – perhaps will be revealed in the coming days.
