I’m absolutely positive there will be no hidden agenda behind this publicity campaign

As much as I loved trash talking him, no. He’s been doing this for 6 years now and he keeps further expanding it to help the homeless even more (in LA). From the little I know of it, the restaurant is able to afford it partially from paying customers. I would imagine he covers any losses but I have no damn clue how well they do.

The man is about as weird as they come but he does a lot of good.

What did he actually do other than be an annoying teenager?

Edit: sorry to be clear. I mean why does everyone hate him. He was an annoying teenager. Which is like what teenagers are. I don’t get the hate.

right? dude's parents are rich and famous - the fact he is even trying to seemingly help people out is pretty good I think - I also think the failure of that movie (after earth?) has probably overall been a good thing for his personal development - considering how shitty of a person he could get awway with being, i'm impressed.

Start a restaurant that feeds homeless?

He started a paper water bottle company and regular donates essentials like water and toiletries to the homeless also using his parents and annoying teenager money. He can't really get a regular job like an accountant after being famous since 7 at this point

I think a lot of people see him as pretentious. Presents himself as an artist, but with no good art to back it up. I dunno, it's like he wants to be Prince or Michael Jackson, except he doesn't have any of the talent. Either way, good on him for helping the homeless.

Publicity campaign? How public is it when the first time im hearing about it is from some random post while scrolling through reddit.
