Oscar-Winning Actress Branded ‘Evil Zionist B*tch’ By Raving Man On The Street

Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren was accosted on the street by a deranged person who called her an “evil Zionist b*tch” during an unprovoked attack, newly released footage shows.

The 80-year-old “MobLand” star was walking in London at night with her husband, Taylor Hackford, when the incident occurred. A man approached the couple, who greeted him with smiles, before he unleashed on them.

“There is Helen Mirren, the avowed Zionist. You said Israel should last forever because of the Holocaust,” the man yelled, referring to public comments the actress has made in the past.

“F*ck off,” Hackford, 81, said, as Mirren remained silent and turned her head away.

“And she was very happy the Palestinians’ houses were gone. You put the post up. We were all there. You’re an evil Zionist b*tch,” the man continued. “And you as well,” the unidentified man said, seemingly addressing Hackford. “F*ck you and all.”

The Met Police said the incident is believed to have occurred last year and claimed it will be treated as a hate crime, per The Telegraph. 

“We are aware of a video circulating online, showing a man and a woman being subjected to antisemitic verbal abuse in Tower Hill,” a spokesman said.

“Officers are currently reviewing the footage and making attempts to contact the victims to establish whether they would like to report the incident. The Met continues to work hard to tackle hate crimes of all types and officers across London have made more than 90 hate crime arrests since the end of March.”

Mirren first visited Israel in 1967 and has been a vocal supporter over the years, per the New York Post. She also played Israel’s first female prime minister, Golda Meir, in the 2023 drama film “Golda.” 

“I believe in Israel, in the existence of Israel, and I believe Israel has to go forward into the future, for the rest of eternity,” she told Israel’s Channel 12 at the time. “I believe in Israel because of the Holocaust.”

Mirren is not Jewish, but has voiced her support for the nation on multiple occasions. She is opposed to the boycott of Israeli film projects and signed a letter supporting Israel’s appearance in the Eurovision Song Contest last month.

Mirren was also one of the 2,000 celebrities to sign an open letter condemning Hamas following the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. 

“This is terrorism. This is evil,” the letter said.
