Isn’t it wild how, even under the glare of the spotlight, some old-school attitudes sneak in like uninvited shadows? Madison Beer, a rising star who first caught fire when Justin Bieber shared her soulful cover of ‘At Last,’ recently called out the kind of sideways, misogynistic questions that feel like relics from the past — and not the good kind. Here we have a 26-year-old Grammy nominee, navigating a male-dominant scene, being asked if her pricey watch was a boyfriend’s gift. Funny thing is, with the Sun lingering in pragmatic Virgo today—known for its sharp eye for detail and honesty—you’d think people would learn to check their assumptions at the door. But nope, some folks still assume women can’t be the CEO of their own lives. Madison’s candid talk about steering her own ship and breaking those invisible ceilings is a reminder: these biases don’t vanish overnight, no matter how shiny the trophy. So, what’s next on the cosmic agenda for challenging outdated norms? Let’s dive deeper. LEARN MORE
Madison Beer has spoken out in criticism of a misogynistic question she was asked in a ‘very male dominated room’.
The American singer-songwriter burst onto the music scene when her cover of Etta James’ song ‘At Last’ was shared on social media by Justin Bieber.
She went on to release her first EP in 2018 and has since been nominated for two Grammys, solidifying her status as one of the biggest upcoming names in the industry.
Unfortunately, as is the case with industries both large and small, an element of misogyny and sexism remains, particularly when it’s regarding someone as conventionally attractive as the 26-year-old performer.
Beer has now hit out at the prejudice that continues to exist in the world after she was asked a question with misogynistic undertones.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, she said: “It’s assumed that [women] can’t be the boss, they can’t be the CEO. As much as we’ve progressed as a society in a lot of ways, I feel like those things also still very much exist.
“I have this super nice watch that I wear [and] love that. I was out recently [and] it was a very male dominated room. Someone complimented my watch and asked, ‘Did your boyfriend get it for you?’
“I’m like, ‘No, I bought it for myself. Thank you though.'”
Considering US President Donald Trump recently criticised a female journalist for ‘not smiling’, while prominent figures in the ‘manosphere’ such as Andrew Tate continue to gain traction online, it’s easy to see why cases of misogyny are still so common.

Beer added: “It’s just funny. In little ways, I feel like things still bleed through that are, in my opinion, underlying misogyny. This dude assumed that I couldn’t afford to buy myself this watch.
“Maybe I look into things too deeply, but I’m like, well, that’s probably because you assume that a woman can’t be making enough money to do so. I don’t know what it is, but I think there’s a layered thing there that comes up.
“Even someone like me, who I feel like I am my own boss… I run my life. I don’t report to anyone. I steer my own ship. There are still comments that get made by men.”
Sadly, it probably won’t be the last time something like this happens to a celebrity, with Javier Bardem previously shutting down a reporter who asked a sexist question about working with his wife Penélope Cruz.
