Politics & Power Quote by Jerry Hall

A model’s refusal of politics isn’t just apathy; it’s brand management disguised as candor. “Absolutely zero interest” is a hard, performative number, the kind of totalizing statement that shuts down follow-ups. It draws a clean border around the self: I’m not here to argue, I’m not here to pick sides, I’m not here to be held accountable for the mess outside the room. In an era when celebrity is routinely drafted into causes, Hall’s line reads like a preemptive exit from a conversation that never ends.

The subtext is class and access. Someone who has moved through elite social circles can afford to treat politics as optional, even as politics shapes who gets that freedom. Declaring “zero interest” can be a way of preserving relationships across factions, staying welcome at any table, refusing the risk that comes with taking a stand. It’s not neutrality; it’s insulation.

There’s also a gendered expectation embedded here. Models have long been marketed as surfaces: seen, not heard, admired, not consulted. Saying she has no interest can be an act of compliance with that script, or a strategic dodge of a trap where any opinion becomes a headline, a punchline, or proof she’s out of her lane.

What makes the line work is its bluntness. It’s a door slammed politely, a reminder that in celebrity culture, silence can be an identity as much as speech.
