Pharrell Williams' star-studded Olympics party in Paris on Thursday night was disrupted by animal rights protesters.
The musician-turned-fashion designer hosted a glittering event for Louis Vuitton at the brand's headquarters in the French capital on the eve of the launch of the 2024 Olympic Games in the city on Friday, but the The Prelude To The Olympics bash was stormed by two supporters of PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who waved signs urging him to stop using animal skins in his designs for the company.
PETA Vice President of Corporate Projects Yvonne Taylor said of the protest 'While Pharrell lives it up at celeb-filled soires, the vulnerable animals sentenced to die for his fashion choices languish in pain and filth on factory farms and at slaughterhouses, where theyll be hacked to bits or skinned alive.
'PETA is calling on Pharrell to stop being complicit in cruelty and help pull Louis Vuitton out of the dark ages by shunning the antiquated use of animal skins and fur.'
The protesters held up signs emblazoned with the words 'Pharrell Stop Killing Animals for Fashion' before they were bundled away by security guards.
