AnnaLynne McCord posted bizarre video after Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine.
“Dear Putin, If I Were Your Mother…”: Actor Trolled Over Bizarre Video
AnnaLynne McCord mocked for uploading a video of herself reading a self-penned poem saying she wishes she’d been Putin’s mom so she could’ve hugged him to stop him turning into a war-monger
- Actress AnnaLynne McCord. 34, posted a bizarre poem online Thursday about her desire to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mother
- ‘I’m so sorry I was not your mother,’ the 90210 alumni said. ‘If I was your mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light’
- Meghan McCain led a round of criticism by quipping on Twitter: ‘Nailed it girl, the war’s over’
- Putin, 69, ordered full-scale invasion of Ukraine this week, and on the first day of conflict 57 people were killed and 169 others were wounded
- It all could have been avoided, McCord said, with her motherly love
While some commentators argued that she meant well, others were caustic over what they called a tone-deaf video.
“Was it because so early in life, all that strife wracked your little body with fear?” McCord asks Putin. “If I was a mother, if the world was cold, I would’ve died to make you warm. I’d have died to protect you from the unjust, the violence, the terror, the uncertainty. I would have died to give you life. Oh dear, Mr. President Putin, if only I’d been your mother. Perhaps the torture of unwrit youth would not within your heart imbue ascription to such fealty against that world that you thought was so cruel.”

“Perhaps you would hold dear human life. And on this night, instead of Mother Russia you would call me and I would set your mind quite free with the love that only a mother can give and only a mother can take away,” the actress pressed.
Putin’s Real Mom
“When hold, she doesn’t harm at bay and leaves her boy for the promise of a man, whatever your story, Mr. President, Putin, I can’t imagine how it feels in your heart, but I know if I was your mother, I would be a start towards the awareness of what a powerful being of light you could be if your mind was only free from the violence you’ve seen when you were just two or three. I cannot believe I was born too late. In a different place when I would have loved you so. Watched to play wherever you go,” she concluded.
What Vladdy Daddy Looks Like In The Metaverse
Following McCord’s Putin plea – which at the time of publishing has garnered more than 9 million views – it didn’t take long for many on social media to liken her address to Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” cover in the early stages of the global pandemic. The cohort of well-off celebrities who participated was criticized for being tone-deaf and insensitive to the plight of average people.
“What am I even saying?” one Twitter user responded in meme form, while another commenter echoed a similar sentiment with a memed Twitter reply that reads, “it is with a heavy hearty that I must announce that the celebs are at it again.”
“Just sing ‘imagine’ next time. It’s easier than whatever this is,” wrote another user, with someone else declaring they would “pay a lot of money to un-see this.”
“The new Anthropologie ad campaign is really something,” quipped one commenter while another predicted: “IF (and that’s a big if) Putin sees this, he’s probably laughing his a– off,” predicted one person.
McCord’s Twitter account is littered with similar reach-outs and calls to action as the actress’ bio lists her as a “Human Rights Activist” and “Anti Human-Trafficking Ambassador” along with the hashtag calling to “end slavery.”
A pinned tweet atop her profile features a video of what she’s identified as her “purpose” in life to which she writes, “Mine is to fight to #EndSlavery not just of the body but also of the mind!”
