No Doubt pull “Looking Hot” video after complaints by Native Americans

After receiving a number of complaints from Native Americans, ska band No Doubt remove the video from all sites.
The official video, released Friday 2nd November featured a variety of Native American imagery including teepees, smoke signals and platinum blonde singer, Gwen Stefani and her band playing cowboys and Indians.
One furious fan wrote on their official forum: “It has nothing to do with intent. Whether they intended the video to hurt or not, it’s irrelevant because the video is still trivializing and appropriating the culture”.
On the official band site, the SoCal group apologised for releasing the video saying: “Our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialise Native American people, their culture or their history.”
The video was directed by Melina Matoukas, who has worked with stars like Rihanna and Beyonce. Matoukas isn’t new to controversy. Last year her video for Rihanna’s ‘S&M’ resulted in a lawsuit from photographer David LaChapelle, who claimed scenes were plagiarised from his own shoots.
