Teen Choice Awards pushes anti-gun hashtag

There was no reason for the Teen Choice Awards to get political, but celebrities used the opportunity to push an anti-gun message.

Jessica Alba and Ne-Yo took time out of the program to tell the impressionable 13- to 17-year-olds that it was important to “#StopTheViolence,” Newsbusters reported.

Siblings and children were paraded on stage to share how they lost family members to gun violence while the hashtag was promoted. Alba told the audience to “stop, feel, and ask what’s going on” before Ne-Yo sang “What’s Going On.”
