Brittany shared a video on Instagram of herself before and after her makeup and hair. While the video isn’t controversial, it was the caption that landed her in hot water. “I would really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my boy phase. I love this girl life,” she posted. The Voice alum Cassadee Pope addressed Brittany’s social media post, tweeting: “You’d think celebrities with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging. But instead here we are, hearing someone compare the “tomboy phase” to someone wanting to transition. Really nice.” Morris responded to Pope’s tweet, saying: “Is it that easy to not be a worthless person? Sell your clip-ins and zip it up, Insurrection Barbie.” Is it that easy to not be a useless person? Sell your clip-ins and zip it up, Insurrection Barbie. — MAREN MORRIS (@MarenMorris) August 26, 2022 Morris’ tweet fired up conservatives and Carlson booked Brittany to appear on his primetime show. It was during this interview that Carlson referred to Morris as “crazy.” The “Make You Say” singer then mocked the TV host’s remark and shared a meme with a Tucker Carlson Tonight chyron that read “Crazy face of country music.” #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/2JHtpjBVN2 — MAREN MORRIS (@MarenMorris) September 2, 2022 However, Morris did not stop there and used the opportunity to make a positive impact on the controversy and raise money for transgender organizations. Morris sells a t-shirt online that uses the phrase used by Carlson and Brittany as well as a crisis hotline. All proceeds from the sale of the top will be shared between Trans Lifeline and the GLAAD Transgender Media Program. Morris gave an update to fans on Saturday, September 3 and claimed to have raised “over $100k” in less than a day. “Have a great Labor Day weekend, crazy people,” Morris added. Over $100,000 was raised. Happy Labor Weekend, you crazies. 🌈 — MAREN MORRIS (@MarenMorris) September 3, 2022
