Maria Shriver, Hoda Kotb and more Celebrities Slam Harrison Buck's "humiliating" graduation Speech

Harrison Butker hasn't made many new friends since this past weekend.

After the Kansas City Chiefs Kicker's stunned graduation speech went viral this week for all the wrong reasons, many celebrities have joined the chorus to denounce Butker's words - which many have deemed "misogynistic," "homophobic," and "transphobic.""

On today's show, co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager gave the athlete's opinion. "Don't speak for us," Kotb said. "I think it's kind of a thing. Stop talking for women out there.

Kotb continued, "I think there's something about someone talking about. And while [Butker] may be talking for a lot of people, you can't talk for everyone.

She said, "Women can decide what they want to do.

Bush Hager agrees, "Didn't you learn anything from Barbie's America Ferrera monologue?"It's so hard to be a woman. He still did not have the opportunity to do it. So when he comes back to his next life, he can give a starting speech about how we can live.

Kotb says, "There are many ways to live a meaningful life. Some involve children, while others do not. Some involve being at home, while others do not. Some include volunteers only. No matter

During this segment, Kotb also cited Maria Shriver's reaction to the incident.

On social media, the former First Lady of California said, "What point Harrison Batker was really trying to women in his graduation speech about their current life choices" he really wanted them, aka us, to let us lean on the profession of wife and mother. When did you believe that our lives really begin?

She added, "By the way, he also swiped in the LGBTQ community. Look, everyone has the right to free speech in our country. That's the advantage of living in a democracy. But those of us who are women and have a voice have the right not to agree with Butker.

Shriver continued, "As a woman who has leaned into my vocation of living a meaningful life and working inside and outside the house, not just to nurture good men but to nurture our country in various ways, I find it humiliating for women to imply that their choices outside of wives and motherhood are thin compared to that of housewives." I think that.

Kotb, Bush Hager, and Shriver are in good company as far as Butker critics go: Maren Morris and Flavor Flav also talked about controversial speeches.

Meanwhile, Brooke Schwartz, wife of former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitch Schwartz, accused Booker in an Instagram story. "Is this what we are saying to young women who graduate from college?She wrote (via Us Weekly). "The most important thing that they can become is housewives??? What is this crap in a handmade story?"

After he gave a graduation speech at the Catholic school Benedict University over the weekend, Booker raged the Internet, telling women in his graduation class that they were "Oh he also seemed to be targeting the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, especially trans people."

The NFL distanced itself from Booker's opinion, and a spokesperson said, "His view is not that of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in its commitment to inclusion that only makes our league stronger."
