In a column on the Huffington Post blog, Sean Penn explains in further detail his much-publicized opposition to Wyclef Jean’s presidential bid in Haiti, which was rejected last week by the electoral commission.
Titled “Third Person Once Removed,” Penn – who relocated to Haiti two months after the January earthquake to assist relief efforts – also pushes back against another HuffPo blog written by Wyclef’s publicist Marian Salzman. Her column defended Wyclef’s credentials to run for president and characterized Penn’s opposition as a “celebrity feud.”
