Many people believe she was trying to "selfishly crash the event in attempts to upstage it".
"Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation. My shoes can set off a national conversation. That's just sort of where we are. We've got a lot of talking going on." Stated the First Lady. Michelle Obama states that "she doesn't give a second thought to critical comments about what she does as first lady."
The First Lady's intention, in being in the Academy Awards was to further her future goals, in supporting the arts. Michelle did not think she was causing a commotion among people, she stated in an interview that, "she was astounded by the buzz about cutting her hair to add bangs, which she unveiled on her birthday, just before inauguration weekend." When Michelle Obama was asked about the commotion she had caused she clearly stated, " I was, I have to say. I'm like, it's a haircut".
Not only was Michelle Obama accused of stealing the show by her outward appearance, but also by her general appearance on the Awards ceremony. People are annoyed by the First Lady's appearance and involvement in many activities that seem to be none of her business. Which is why she is being a accused of "stealing the spot light". Michelle Obama has already appeared on mom dancing with Jimmy Fallon, has made many videos with Big Bird on Sesame Street, talked about her new obesity campaign in interviews and fitness related event with Rachel Ray and Serena Williams.
