"I was really upset with her."
Huda Kattan is one of the world’s biggest makeup influencers but in December 2024, she explained why she fell out with Eva Longoria.
The makeup influencer had Eva as a celebrity client when she first launched Huda Beauty.
Over the years, the pair developed a close friendship.
The Desperate Housewives star even invited Huda onto her podcast Connections with Eva Longoria in 2022 to discuss their humanitarian and philanthropic work.
However, the friendship appeared to end after Huda Kattan called out Eva Longoria for her support of Israel.
Huda has long supported Palestine and has donated money to support victims of the ongoing conflict.
On the We’re Not Kidding podcast, Huda responded to “falling out” with Eva over the issue:
“I actually haven’t said it out loud, but yeah I was really upset with her.
“Because she’s supposed to be a humanitarian and she’s… When it really came down to it, I was just learning a lot of things about who she really was.
“And we had a conversation. And look, she’s not the only person who was outspoken for Israel.
Revealing that many of her other A-list friends were pro-Israel, Huda continued:
“She took a stance, she wanted to support Israel.
“Many of my friends did, many of my friends took a very specific stance. And I had words with them, and I said ‘Look, can you please learn?’
“I also understand that you’re in Hollywood, but you should be really careful with what you’re saying publicly.
“And most of them – most of them– were really amazing about it.
“They were like, ‘You know what, I’m going to get educated. I’m going to learn’.”
“And sometimes, we didn’t agree on everything, right? But at least they took the stance, to promise that they would continue learning.”

Mehdi Hassan asked: “But not Eva Longoria?”
Huda Kattan replied: “I was disappointed with her.
“Eva and I were actually friends for 10 years and she’s reached out to me a few times since then to talk about it…”
In June 2024, Huda hinted that Eva had suggested “social media isn’t really the right place” to express views about the Israel-Palestine issue.
