The Academy Award-winning actress and part-time New Orleans resident Sandra Bullock wants her appearance excised from a video promoting long-term cleanup efforts in the Gulf of Mexico following reports that the group sponsoring the clip received money from a nonprofit group linked to the oil industry, writes The Times-Picayune.
The video, in which Ms. Bullock and other celebrities call for a federal plan to restore the Gulf, is part of a campaign by the advocacy group Women of the Storm. The organization’s president, Anne Milling, is married to the chairman of America’s Wetland Foundation, which has received financial support from BP and other oil companies.
Ms. Milling said that while the foundation is listed online as a sponsor of her group’s Restore the Gulf campaign and has provided logistical support, the group has not given Women of the Storm any money, as was reported by the environmental site DeSmogBlog.
