Dance Moms star Christi Lukasiak faced backlash after posting a video urging her followers to vote and seemingly endorsing Kamala Harris. In the video, she emphasized the importance of voting in the upcoming election, stating that everything from reproductive rights to the Supreme Court was at stake. However, many of her followers did not appreciate the political message, with some expressing their disapproval of Lukasiak’s support for Harris. Some commentators criticized her for being privileged and out of touch, while others mentioned that a majority of her audience was in favor of Donald Trump.
Despite the negative responses, Lukasiak continued to advocate for voting in the election. She captioned the video urging her followers to fight for the future, democracy, and freedom and to make a plan to vote on November 5. This was not the first time Lukasik had posted a political message, as she had previously shared a similar video in October that had also received mixed reactions from her followers. Many continued to express their support for Trump and opposition to Lukasiak’s political views, highlighting the divide among her fan base when it came to the upcoming election.
Lukasiak was not the only celebrity speaking out about the election, as Vice President Harris and former President Trump were also actively campaigning, holding rallies in Wisconsin. It had been a tough year for Lukasiak, who had been arrested for a DUI in July after crashing her car into a tree in Pennsylvania. The incident occurred after she admitted to consuming two glasses of wine before getting behind the wheel. This arrest came as a surprise to many fans, as Lukasiak had been known for her appearance on the reality series Dance Moms, where she often joked about drinking but had denied being a heavy drinker.
During her time on Dance Moms, Lukasiak and her daughter Chloe were prominent figures on the show, often involved in drama with other cast members. Their departure from the series in season four, following a conflict with Abby Lee Miller, was a turning point for the show. While they made a brief reappearance in season seven and returned for a reunion special, their time on the show was marked by controversies and conflicts. Despite these challenges, Lukasiak continued to be an outspoken advocate for voting and political engagement, even as her views faced criticism from some of her followers.
