\n\tAlthough Bad Bunny\u2019s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show performance<\/a> has ruffled some feathers, he\u2019s gained a conejo in Ben Stiller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Severance EP\/director took to the six-time Grammy winner\u2019s defense after Florida\u2019s Rep. Randy Fine called for the FCC<\/a> to investigate the \u201cdisgusting and pornographic filth\u201d in Bad Bunny<\/a>\u2018s Sunday performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFocus of investigation: how did Bad Bunny manage to kick ass at such a high level and deliver the most watched and well produced half time show about inclusion and love ever made\u2026.investigators plan to explore source of Bunny\u2019s huge talent, off the charts charisma and even bigger heart,\u201d wrote Stiller on X<\/a>, responding to Fine.<\/p>\n

\n\tFine previously declared that he was writing a letter<\/a> to the Federal Communications Commission to demand action after Bunny allegedly sang the F-word in Spanish.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou can\u2019t say the f-word on live TV. \u2018Bad Bunny\u2019s disgusting halftime show was illegal,\u201d he wrote on X. \u201cHad he said these lyrics \u2014 and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous. Puerto Ricans are Americans and we all live by the same rules.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are sending @BrendanCarrFCC a letter calling for dramatic action, including fines and broadcast license reviews, against the @NFL, @nbc, and \u2018Bad Bunny\u2019. Lock them up,\u201d added Fine.<\/p>\n

\n\tFine was not the only lawmaker outraged by Bunny\u2019s performance, with Tennessee\u2019s Rep. Andy Ogles<\/a> and Missouri\u2019s Rep. Mark Alford<\/a> have also called for the FCC to investigate.<\/p>\n

\n\tPredictably, Donald Trump slammed Bad Bunny\u2019s show as \u201ca slap in the face to our country<\/a>\u201d after his DHS secretary Kristi Noem warned that ICE will \u201cbe all over that place<\/a>,\u201d despite the Puerto Rican-born artist being an American citizen.<\/p>\n
