Tina Fey praised for outspoken comments about ‘rich people’ who have ‘side hustles’

Tina Fey has been inundated with praise following her blunt comments about 'rich people' who have 'side hustles'.

On Tuesday's episode (18 March) of her close friend Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, the 54-year-old Mean Girls actress made a series of extremely candid remarks about her thoughts on fellow celebs starting up businesses on the side.

When discussing their respective relationships with money, Fey told 53-year-old Poehler: "I have a problem with rich people having a side hustle." Take a look at the clip here:

Jokingly, Poehler teased: "Yeah, you mean like a podcast or something."

"No, you’re doing work," Fey responded, before admitting she'd take issue with her pal starting something like a 'rosé brand', for instance.

"If you already have like $200 million, and also I need you to," she began before Poehler chimed in: "But Tina, that is where you have to learn from Gen Z. I’m sorry, we have to."

Poehler then urged: "You should stop, because this is the thing now."

Fey then mocked an A-lister from the 80s, carefully ensuring she didn't name them, for promoting their line of 'homeopathic children’s medications'.

"I was like, 'Why on this Earth would I trust an actress for paediatric medication?'" she concluded.

Despite Fey not naming any names, it's clear it's no secret that a number of famous faces have businesses they operate on the side of their career in the 'biz.

For example, there's Blake Lively's haircare line, Blake Brown; Kendall Jenner's tequila brand, 818; Selena Gomez's make-up brand, Rare Beauty; Scarlett Johansson's skincare range, The Outset; Jessica Alba's The Honest Company, which sells nontoxic household products and lastly Ryan Reynolds' Aviation Gin - just to name a handful.

While Poehler may not have been totally in agreement with Fey's comments, it's clear many of her fans online couldn't have agreed more as they rushed to social media to share their praise over her candour.

One X user penned: "Tina Fey please never go through PR training."

"I love her my unfiltered queen," praised a second, while a third agreed: "Truly the realest out there."

A fourth admitted: "I’m on her side lol."

"Like wym you already have hundreds of millions of dollars and now you want me to purchase your tequila with my money too?" hit out a fifth.

And a final X user savagely slammed: "She's right. Are you not rich enough already? No one needs your vanity project. Greedy f*cks."

What do you stand on the matter?
