I got the impression she was complaining that lots of celebrities were saying they weren't feminists and others had said feminism needed a make-over.
She mentioned four celebrities (if Geri Haliwell still counts as one, or if the editor of Elle does). I don't think that's the same as 'lots.' Also, Hadley is pretty tongue in cheek about celebrities in general. Her stating some quote of theirs with regard to feminism in a jocular manner doesn't mean that she thinks those opinions have any weight.
The Joss clip is only controversial because he's regarded as a female and feminist-friendly writer, who has even so fallen into the trap of telling women what to do. That's all.
