Did a news item published in "Israel Today" about Adi Beatty's clip deter Anna Zack from releasing her own blatant clip?
• It's a shame they only imitate Billy Aylish musically

Shortly after starring on screen scattering feminist statements and messages of female empowerment on "Survival," 19-year-old Adi Beatty released a new single accompanied by a clip that looks like the #METOO movement has never been here.
• Watch the provocative music video by Adi Beatty
In the photo that accompanied the single, Beatty is seen in the bathroom, with two men next to her naked and wrapped in a towel.
The clip goes to even more provocative districts.
Already last weekend, when Beatty uploaded the photo to her Instagram page, the reactions ranged from "looks like an adult movie promo" to "I think the men next to you are less suited to your age and what you broadcast."
When asked about it, Beatty told Israel Today: "I understand that the respondents are not exposed to music and music videos from Israel and the world. I am in favor of looking at art as art and starting to enjoy it."

A few hours after Beatty's Instagram post, the public relations office of another teen star, Anna Zack, released a press release saying that Zack had archived an invested clip and song called "Beautiful Guys." In a statement, "There is sexual harassment here on a daily basis, abuse of women and complete disregard for severe punishment.
I would not forgive myself if I touched someone at a painful point. "
In an excerpt from the hidden clip released to the media, Zack is seen in the bathroom with men examining around her, and in another scene she is lying on the floor and all those men, shirtless, are close to her.

It is not clear why and how the eyes of the young pop star were suddenly opened, who discovered that a female object is no longer IN.
Is it related to the harsh reactions Beatty received to the provocative photo she uploaded to Instagram?
Maybe it has to do with the song "Cubes" released by Zack together with Static and Ben-El in August, four days before the rape in Eilat?
The song included lyrics like "Girls Hot as Cookies," and in retrospect the three admitted that its departure timing was bad.
As if there is good timing for such words.
• Adi Beatty's clip is a wake-up call
Adi Beatty in response to the storm: "Is the corona over?"
The question is why two young and successful stars continue to shoot sexist clips in the current era.
If they're trying to emulate Billy Aylish's musical style anyway, maybe it's time to emulate her attitude as well.
