After Destroying a Birkin Bag for ‘Art’, Photog Tyler Shields Says He Will Donate $100,000 to a Family in Need–If Someone Buys his Art
So, turns out that whole destroying-and-lighting-on-fire-a-$100,000-Birkin-in-the-name-of-’art’ was maybe not such a great idea after all.
Photographer/publicity stuntman Tyler Shields set off an internet shit storm yesterday when he posted photos of his girlfriend and Clint Eastwood progeny, Francesca Eastwood ripping into a $100,000 Birkin bag with a chainsaw, eventually lighting it on fire. Understandably many people found this photoshoot to be rather insensitive–or downright offensive–at a time when many families are struggling financially.
In fact, according to TMZ, some people were so upset that they even sent death threats to Francesca and Tyler–Not that that’s a first for the photographer.
