Jessica Alba faced backlash from fans for a video endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 Presidential Election. In the clip, Alba stood beside Harris in a tan pantsuit as the vice president discussed the impact of small Latina-owned businesses. Harris mentioned that Latina small businesses are the fastest growing in the country, to which Alba replied, ‘Yes, they are,’ while snapping her fingers. Many of Alba’s Instagram followers described the interaction as awkward, cringeworthy, and desperate. Some criticized her for supporting Harris, with one stating they would no longer buy products from Alba’s baby and beauty company, Honest Co.
Despite the backlash, Alba appeared unbothered as she enjoyed a night out with her husband Cash Warren at Birds Street Club in West Hollywood. The actress, who is also the co-founder of Honest Co., flaunted her toned abs in a black crop top paired with a black blazer, jeans, and a burgundy Chanel bag. She and Cash were spotted leaving the club and heading home in a car. The outing came shortly after the controversial video endorsement of Harris that garnered negative attention from fans. Alba faced criticism for the awkward nature of the video and some followers expressed disappointment in her for supporting the vice president.
In addition to the video endorsement, Alba also shared photos from a Harris campaign event in Arizona where she was joined by other celebrities such as Kerry Washington, Glenn Close, and Michael Ealy. The actress expressed gratitude to volunteers and voters and encouraged people to register to vote. Alba had previously endorsed Harris in July after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, sharing photos of the two together on Instagram and expressing her excitement for Harris to make history. Other celebrities who have endorsed Harris include Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Rodrigo, George Clooney, and Barbra Streisand.
Critics of Alba’s endorsement of Harris pointed out that she was speaking to a millionaire actress rather than a real Latina small business owner who had started from nothing. Some fans expressed disappointment in Alba’s support for Harris and vowed to stop purchasing products from Honest Co. due to their disagreement with the political association. Despite the negative feedback, Alba appeared unfazed as she continued to enjoy a night out with her husband and friends. The actress displayed her effortless sense of style and confidence, despite the controversy surrounding the video endorsement of Harris during the highly anticipated presidential election.
The backlash from fans over the ‘cringeworthy’ video did not seem to deter Alba from publicly supporting Harris, as she attended campaign events and continued to share her enthusiasm for the vice president. Although some fans were disappointed in Alba’s political affiliations, she remained steadfast in her endorsement of Harris and participation in campaign events alongside other celebrities. Alba emphasized the importance of Latina small businesses and highlighted the benefits of supporting and strengthening them for the overall benefit of society. While facing criticism and threats to boycott her company, Alba maintained her support for Harris and her commitment to promoting causes she believes in.
Despite the mixed reactions from fans and followers, Jessica Alba appeared to stand by her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and remained active in supporting the campaign during the 2024 Presidential Election. The actress showcased her toned abs and effortless style during a night out with her husband and friends, despite facing backlash for the controversial video endorsement.
