Poll: Should Hollywood stars get special treatment?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Hollywood heavyweights Kirsten Dunst​ and Jesse Plemons​ applied for an exemption to avoid having to quarantine in an Auckland hotel

Their application came at a time when virtually all foreigners were banned due to Covid-19 border restrictions. The pair applied to spend their time in a secluded Waikato property.

Although the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) refused to confirm whether an exemption was granted, the pair have told Vanity Fair they are staying in a hotel.

Their application for an exemption cited concerns over privacy and a concern they would be followed by photographers.
