By Amber Rose has stirred controversy by endorsing Donald Trump for President in the 2024 election. The 40-year-old model and activist posted a photo on Instagram showing her alongside Trump, 77, and his wife Melania, 54, at a black-tie event. The caption read, “Trump 2024 ususus,” triggering a wave of backlash from her followers.
Rose has been a prominent advocate for women’s rights, notably founding Slutwalk in 2015 to combat rape culture and victim-blaming. Her endorsement of Trump, who faces multiple sexual harassment allegations and played a significant role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, has been seen by many as contradictory to her advocacy work.
Comments on her post were swift and harsh. User @nubian_throne wrote, “Imagine being an ‘advocate’ for women’s rights and endorsing Trump and his party who reversed Roe V Wade. Wild.” Producer/actor/lawyer Nathan Hale Williams stated from his verified account, “Unfollow with the quickness. He is against everything I thought you stood for. Bye girl.”
Another user, @trvp.bxz, referenced Rose’s recent conflict with Joseline Hernandez on “College Hill: Celebrity Edition,” saying, “As Joseline said, You really just wanna be a white girl.” This comment refers to a heated exchange where Hernandez accused Rose of wanting to be white, leading to a physical altercation that was not fully shown on the show.
@princetonboy915 expressed disbelief, adding, “AMBER, HE’S LITERALLY AGAINST EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR! WTF?!?!” Actor and activist Amber Whittington remarked, “Damn Amber… You’re a Bisexual woman of color that runs a movement that stands up for women’s rights and their power against anyone that abuses it… that’s literally OPPOSITE of what he supports… smdh.”
Others, like Blakely Nieman Thornton, commented, “Go to sleep babe, you’re drunk,” while Vivica A. Fox added, “WTF?? #GURLBYE,” and Bob The Drag Queen simply said, “AMBER?!?!?! WTF.” Chantel Watkins sarcastically remarked, “Ain’t nothing in that baldhead,” and Eli Oneil stated, “Unfollowing. Joseline was right about you.”
Rose’s endorsement comes nearly two months after she revealed on “Just B With Bethenny Frankel” that she has always identified as conservative. “I am conservative actually. I have always been conservative since I was young,” she said. Rose explained that her relationship with Kanye West in 2008 transformed her public image into that of a “sexpot,” which did not align with her true self. “That was my first relationship with a celebrity ever but also in the public eye. And he knows a lot about fashion and he always wanted me to dress very sexy,” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Ugh, I’m so not her.’ Like, I’m so not her and I get what I come off as but I am so not her.”
Rose’s unexpected political endorsement has not only surprised her fans but also sparked significant debate about the alignment of personal beliefs with public advocacy.
