This is the naked truth for Taraji P. Henson: she hates fur.

The Academy Award nominee is the latest celebrity to sign on for PETA’s attention-grabbing, misguided campaign against animal cruelty. She says she watched the documentary I Am an Animal, in which viewers get an up close look at fur farms, and had an epiphany:

“I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried. Could you imagine somebody ripping your hair out, while you’re still awake, fully conscious? It’s ridiculous, for the sake of fashion.”

Justin Bieber recently spoke out on behalf of PETA, as well. Sadly, though, he kept his clothes on.

Henson will unveil this poster PETA’s New York Fashion Week Bash on February 10. It will also appear as a billboard in Los Angeles.
