Paloma Faith slams The Little Mermaid
British singer and actor Paloma Faith scrutinized Disney for ‘The Little Mermaid.’ Metro reported about the stories Paloma posted; the singer praised Hailee’s performance but, on the other hand, noted that the message that the movie imparted was not right for young girls. The singer noted that the story shows that it is okay for women to "give up" their voice just for a man.
In the now-deleted post, the star wrote, "Just seen the new little mermaid with my kids, and while I think Halle gives a good performance and it's great casting, as a mother of girls I don't want my kids to think it's ok to give up your entire voice and your powers to love a man." Faith added, "Wtf is this shit. Not what I want to be teaching next gen women at all."

The tables turned when a user pulled up a tweet from Paloma’s account that she had written in 2009. In the tweet, the star spoke about her wish to be Ariel. The tweet read, "when i grow up i want to be the little mermaid."
