The "Substance" star spoke candidly about American culture ahead of Republican Donald Trump's win at the ballot box.
“The Substance” star Demi Moore recently unloaded on American culture amid the U.S. presidential election.
“America is built on Puritans, religious fanatics and criminals,” she said during a Tuesday event at La Cinémathèque Française in Paris, as Variety reported and footage circulating online shows.
Moore, who was speaking before vote tallies indicated Republican Donald Trump’s victory at the ballot box, added that these elements are visible “in our election right now.”
The actor was among many Americans who had expressed enthusiasm about the 2024 election on social media, saying over the weekend that she voted for Democrat Kamala Harris, the current vice president, to take the Oval Office.
Moore’s Tuesday remarks came as she discussed sexuality in the U.S., calling it “taboo.” She added that she doesn’t understand “a lot of fear in America around the body.”
