Fans are criticizing Amber Rose for endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 election, noting her previous work supporting social justice causes like women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights. Rose shared a photo of herself posing with Trump and his wife, Melania, on Instagram with the caption “Trump 2024.” The post received thousands of comments, with many fans expressing disappointment and shock at her support for Trump.
Many fans pointed out the contradiction in Rose’s previous advocacy for women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights and her endorsement of Trump, who has not supported these causes in the past. Some called her out for going against everything they thought she stood for, while others questioned how she could claim to support women while aligning herself with a candidate like Trump. Fans threatened to unfollow Rose and questioned the authenticity of her previous advocacy work in light of her support for Trump.
Despite the backlash, some fans showed their support for Rose in the comments section, with messages in favor of Trump’s 2024 campaign. These fans praised Rose for her choice and expressed agreement with her political stance. Rose’s previous statements against Trump when he ran for president in 2016 were highlighted, showcasing the drastic shift in her political views since then.
Rose’s political stance has evolved significantly since Trump’s first campaign in 2016. At the time, she expressed a desire to leave the country if he were to become president, stating that she “can’t even think about it” and would be devastated. Her previous work, including hosting SlutWalks promoting gender equality, LGBTQIA+ rights, and female empowerment, contradicts her current endorsement of Trump, who has taken opposing stances on these issues.
The last SlutWalk hosted by Rose took place in October 2018 and promoted social issues that align with progressive values, in contrast to Trump’s political agenda. The Instagram page for the walk, which has been inactive since 2018, encouraged followers to vote for a leader who would bring positive change to the country. Rose’s change in political views has sparked criticism from fans who feel betrayed by her endorsement of a candidate like Trump. Despite the controversy, Rose continues to receive both support and backlash from her followers for her political choices.
