Model and television personality Amber Rose is piquing eyebrows with her most recent political statement.
Rose proudly announced she would be voting for Donald Trump in a Monday Instagram post, which included a picture of her posing with the former president and his wife, Melania Trump , at a February fundraiser.
Making her intentions for Novembers presidential election as clear as can be, Rose captioned the post Trump 2024 and added a trio of American flag emojis.
She also shared the post on her Instagram story, just to make sure everyone got the message.
After facing almost instant backlash, Rose elaborated on her endorsement in a comment on The Shade Rooms Instagram account.
Lmaooo yall think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did. Ill ALWAYS put women first, she wrote.
Yall want biological men in womens sports. Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion, she continued. Stop being brainwashed cuz WERE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.
Endorsing Trump, a man who has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women and has repeatedly boasted about being responsible for the fall of Roe v. Wade , seems to be a strange choice for Rose, who has been a staunch supporter of womens rights.
In 2015, she led her own version of SlutWalk, a feminist protest designed to celebrate female sexuality and denounce rape culture, in Los Angeles.
Around that time, she also raised $50,000 for her Amber Rose Foundation, which claimed to promote discussion about womens rights and equality issues.
Prior to now, Rose wasnt supportive of Trump. She even called the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate a fucking idiot in an August 2016 interview with The Cut .
Hes just such an idiot. Hes so weird, she said. I really hope hes not president.
Oh, how times change.
