Actor Michael Malarkey refuses to drink Starbucks coffee and urges boycott

British-American actor Michael Malarkey was filmed throwing away a cup of Starbucks coffee while on stage, telling the audience “I boycott Starbucks and you all should too”.

Malarkey, who was born in Lebanon, has previously been vocal about his support for Palestine.

Although not officially on the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) list, many pro-Palestinians have opted to boycott Starbucks following a lawsuit by the company against union Starbucks Workers United over the sharing of pro-Palestine messages on social media using Starbucks’ logo. Starbucks’ CEO has hinted at the boycott having affected sales in 2023 and 2024, particularly in the Middle East and the US.
