The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show came under fire recently following an executive’s comment that transgender models shouldn’t be included in the annual show. It turns out, even some of the performers were outraged by the remark.

Halsey spoke out right as the show aired on Sunday night, saying in an Instagram post that “some comments” were made after her performance was filmed on Nov. 8 that she “simply cannot ignore.” As a member of the LGBTQ community, she explained, she couldn’t tolerate “a lack of inclusivity.”

Though she didn’t call him out by name, the singer’s post seemed to reference Ed Razek, the chief marketing officer for the Limited, Victoria’s Secret’s parent company. In an interview with Vogue last month, Razek explained that he didn’t feel the show should cast transgender models, who he referred to as “transsexuals.”

“No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy,” he said. “It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is.”

The brand issued an apology from Razek the day after the interview was published, in which he said Victoria’s Secret would “absolutely” cast a transgender model for VSFS.

The apology apparently wasn’t enough for Halsey, as she announced on Instagram that she made a donation to GLSEN, an organization aimed at ensuring K-12 schools are safe and inclusive for LGBTQ kids. She also voiced her solidarity with trans folks, adding that acceptance is the only “fantasy” she supports.

Her fans were mostly supportive on Instagram.

“As a trans guy and long time fan, this statement means a lot to me,” one commenter wrote. “Thank you so much for your solidarity.”
