Complaints to the Advertising Standards Board (ASB) claim Apple was “irresponsible” to produce the commercial as Goodrem is considered a role model to many young Australians.
“Delta Goodrem listening to music in the front seat of a moving car – not wearing a seatbelt!!!!!!! And her body/head is out of the moving car – illegal,” one read.
“There are enough problems with young people today and these issues are also against the law,” said another.
Others couldn’t help but point out that the singer was also distracting the vehicle’s driver.
Following the extreme backlash, Apple have pulled the advertisement from the air and released a statement in response.
“The individuals in the vehicle were both wearing lap seat belts at all times while the vehicle was being driven, and the advertisement does not contain any images suggesting otherwise,” the statement read.
Of course, it's important to consider that the star herself was given direction from directors on set.
