Hours after Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 21, and boyfriend Ben Sosne were spotted making a supply run at Whole Foods in Brooklyn wearing protective face gear on April 1, Sailor took to her Instagram Story to respond to the people angry at her for wearing face gear.
She wrote: “To everyone reaching out (very angrily) about me having a mask.. My mom [Christie Brinkley] is an artist and does projects that require her to wear a mask so she had a stash of them in her art studio.
We didn’t buy them upon hearing about the spread of COVID-19. She kept one mask for each one of our family members and then donated the rest to local hospitals.
