Idris Elba Slams Claims That Stars Are Paid To Say They Have Coronavirus (Video) (via Fox411)

. "It's like, I got a test but I also got COVID. Does that make me preferential? I don't understand that."Elba said that people are engaging in "test-shaming," which he called "counterproductive."

He continued: "And also this idea that someone like myself is gonna be paid to say 'I've got coronavirus,' that's absolute bulls--t. Such s-----dness." 'COMRADE BRITNEY' GOES VIRAL AFTER BRITNEY SPEARS CALLS FOR THE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AMID VIRUS QUARANTINE "People wanna spread that as if it's news. That's s----d," Elba continued. "It's the quickest way to get people sick because there's no benefit to me and [wife] Sabrina sitting here saying we've got it or we ain't got it. I don't even understand the logic of that."Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina Dhowre have both tested positive for coronavirus.

"I'm just a human being and I just happen to be in the public eye," Elba said. "So I want people to understand that this is very real. I don't feel like I'm privileged because I got a test because I actually contracted it."Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Kristofer Hivju and Colton Underwood are among the other celebrities currently fighting the virus.

Fox411 Maybe..plot twist...they’re being infected with it that’s why they’re able to test without symptoms 😳🤯

Fox411 Hollywood....YOU’RE CANCELLED!!

Fox411 Too many wannabe Alex Jones out there.

Fox411 rickie_holley 😂

Pajjr2016 Fox411 That is ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS. This headline is COMPLETELY irresponsible and misleading. Shame on you.

Fox411 I’m having symptoms and can’t get a test. Celebs have nothing and get results within a day. Tragic man.

Fox411 This is hilarious but also very sad and yeah... wrong. Andre15_18 what do you think ?

Fox411 Shit pay me ill say i have whatever you want me to have 😹

Fox411 Wtffff

Fox411 I would take this more seriously if you used aLtErNaTiNg case.

Fox411 Did ‘they’ pay Prince Charles too? Asking for a country in dire need of competent leaderships. IHateAllPropagandist

Fox411 No one is saying that. We’re saying celebrities are paying to get tested which is fucked when you have actual sick people who can’t

Fox411 Elites are tested while commoners are dying

Fox411

Fox411 Did he survive?

Fox411 You don’t say kvon88 😱😱

Fox411 He's literally saying the exact opposite thing in the article.

Fox411 02/2020 - Idris Elba was the coolest sexiest man alive 03/2020 - Idris Elba is unfortunately just a sexy fraudster Fame is a Bitch

Fox411 iamcardib what's your response

Fox411 Naa just get tested first

Fox411 Damnnnnnn that man is fine! 🔥🔥🔥

Fox411 How much did they pay him tho?

Fox411 Beyond repair....

Fox411 The exact opposite of what your article says 'The 47-year-old actor recently announced that he had tested positive for coronavirus, and is now slamming the conspiracy theory claiming that celebrities have been paid to say they've been infected by the virus.'

Fox411 Stars? Idris who? I've never heard this name before and hope I never will... LoL stars...😂

Fox411 Cc NoMercyPod TheBodNoMercy TommyG BobsLessons xBenJamminx DeplorableJanet

Fox411 It's not 'test-shaming' - what a bunch of bullshit. It's 'celebrities and wealthy people can afford these things independently and our government isn't making them available to us peons' shaming. Jesus, they don't even know how privileged they are.

Fox411 Well he’s immune so...

Fox411 I don’t really get why anyone would publicly announce it. It’s your health. It’s private. It’s none of anyone’s business if you have COVID-19 or herpes. Would idriselba announce on Twitter that he had herpes? Doubtful

Fox411 Didn’t Cardi say the same thing 😐

Fox411 To be fair the movie “cats” for sure had Coronavirus.... So....

Fox411 Lol I’m sure Prince Charles was also paid. Jesus Christ this crisis is messing with a lot of brain cells

Fox411 Did we pay a couple of them to die as well? Because that’s what is starting to happen

Fox411 He is full of shit. He doesn’t feel privileged to have been tested....?!? Sir there are people with severe symptoms who are refused a test, and you somehow got tested without any symptoms. Stop the lies!!

Fox411 🤔🤔🤔

Fox411 Does he have a movie or tv show coming out soon?

Fox411 Paid? No. Scared? Yes. Adrenochrome FollowTheWhiteRabbit

Fox411 Definitely don’t know anyone that has it and plan to keep it that way. Hopefully, fingers crossed.

Fox411 Idris Elba while reading he was paid to fake having the coronavirus

Fox411 Cardi B started this BS. So I guess KAT's mother was paid to be placed in a coma too?

Fox411 If it wasn't true why deny it!

Fox411 Fox news isn't a source lol

Fox411 They're not paid. They're in hiding. QAnon TheGreatAwakening WWG1WGA

Fox411 Honestly . . . . . if it doesn’t apply . . . let it fly . . .

Fox411 idriselba how much did you get paid?

Fox411 I have nothing but love for this guy AKA Stringer Bell ❤️ Get well soon Idris!

Fox411 What the hell is the edited cuss word in the article Starts with S and ends with D? I’m sure I’m missing something obvious but I’m blanking.

Fox411 Fine then not paid. Doing it for free to stay relevant. All these elderly celebs have it with mild to no symptoms? Yea not buying it.

Fox411 He doesn’t get it. The fact is he was tested with no symptoms. A waste of a test!! He came in contact with an infected person, he should have self quarantined like every other American. People who need the test are being rejected. Idiot!

Fox411 FearlessKeaPod

Fox411 Didn’t he say he had it? 🤔

Fox411 I believe it

Fox411 You don't have to be paid. You signed yourself over to be millionaires for playing pretend for a living, only thing is is that people think you stop playing pretend after the cameras are finished rolling. Your whole life is to push a narrative, if you don't you're cancelled.

Fox411 This is that part of the article where he is clearly saying that didn’t happen

Fox411 STARS may not be Paid To Say They Have Coronavirus BUT super duper easy access to the Coronavirus tests so that they can Say They Have Coronavirus or NOT DISPARAGE of treatment. ...

Fox411 I don't believe it and nobody else probably even thought about it until Cardi B said it. The fact that people looks up to what she has to say shows the intelligence level of this country.

Fox411

Fox411 Hopefully they are donating that paycheck to local food banks or health care.

Fox411 Damn Idris ain't got sht to do but read Twitter lmbo. That's the only place niccas is saying him and his wife getting paid to be Mesothelioma patients.

Fox411 So nobody not gonna Cardi B. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Fox411 I’m sure he feels dumber having to address but unfortunately stupidity has taken over the world and ppl actually believe this is a real thing.

Fox411 Paid no....leveraged yes.

Fox411 idriselba

Fox411 I believe it, wouldn't be shocked at all. I bet the media is going to smear him now.

Fox411 Paid no, doing it to stay in the news and relevant YES! I BELIEVE THAT!

Fox411 Yeah I don't know anyone who wants to admit to that

Idris Elba Slams Theory That Celebs Were Paid to Have CoronavirusThe actor, who tested positive, is not holding back when it comes to debunking the conspiracy theory. Holy heck people. Like he really needed to be a test subject. Hell nooooo! I was waiting for the conspiracy theories to start! I don't believe he was paid to be infected, people are saying he was ae to get tested because he is rich and famous, even though his symptoms were very mild. The average Joe can't afford to get tested is the point.

Idris Elba 'Doesn't Understand the Logic' of Cardi B's Coronavirus ConspiracyCardi B and logic are not in the same zip code. She’s definitely doing it for clout. She talked about China so many times that I even got annoyed by her now as a Chinese.😓 I’m like... can this lady shut up? Many artists warned people of the virus via ig story or live and you even made a song with a dj for what? Hypocrite! Love Cardi, but seriously, she tend to speak no sense 🤣
