Dalai Lama ripped by Christie Brinkley, Sara Foster for asking a boy to 'suck his tongue': 'Protect our kids'

Several celebrities, including Christie Brinkley, Sara Foster and Cardi B slammed the Dalai Lama after a controversial video involving the spiritual leader went viral.

The Dalai Lama continues to face severe scrutiny after a video of his interaction with a young boy in which the spiritual leader asked the child to "suck his tongue" went viral.

Celebrities, many of whom are parents, are speaking out against the Dalai Lama's actions and subsequent apology.

Actress and podcast host Sara Foster slammed the Dalai Lama in a since expired Instagram story, writing "I don't care who you are or how regarded you are. This is absolutely disgusting. Any adult who asks a child to suck his tongue needs to be put on an island never to be heard from again."

In addition to a grossed-out emoji, the mother of two added "#protectourchildren" above a news article noting the response to the Dalai Lama's actions.

Prior to the circulation of the viral video, rapper Cardi B was tearing into predators in general on social media, explaining that they can be found anywhere and everywhere.

"This world is full of predators. They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money ,power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them," she wrote on Twitter.

Less than four hours later, Cardi retweeted a post that included a news headline that said, "DALAI LAMA APOLOGIZES AFTER VIDEO GOES VIRAL."

"Man I’m telling yall [sic]," she wrote, referencing her previous commentary. 

The Dalai Lama was also criticized for kissing the little boy on the lips.
