Nicole Scherzinger Speaks Up After Post-Election Social Media Post Backlash
HuffPost
The artist, who campaigned for Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential run, reacted to the backlash by issuing a lengthy apology.
Nicole Scherzinger is facing criticism after she left a comment on an Instagram photo of Russell Brand rocking a MAGA-inspired cap.
The drama started after Brand posted a photo on Nov. 6 of himself holding a red hat that read “Make Jesus First Again” while celebrating Donald Trump’s presidential election win over Kamala Harris.
According to BuzzFeed, Scherzinger wrote in a since-deleted comment on Brand’s post, “Where do I get this hat!!!?”
Social media users on X, formerly called Twitter, accused the former “Pussycat Dolls” singer of subtly supporting Trump and his controversial “Make America Great Again” red baseball caps that have become ubiquitous among his supporters.
Fans also slammed Scherzinger for interacting with Brand, who has been accused of raping, sexual assaulting and abusing four women between 2006 and 2013 at the height of his fame. He has denied all claims made against him.
