The most furious celeb reactions to the harrowing news Trump won the US election

‘It’s a war on women’


Waking up to see the Associated Press had called the US election, and that convicted felon Donald Trump had won the US presidential election once again and would be returning to the White House was absolutely crushing to anyone with a sense of moral decency. Any celebrity you actually care about has been vocally outspoken in their support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, especially when ethical differences between the two parties on issues such as a woman’s right to abortion and minorities getting equality literally hang in the balance. Here are the most impassioned celebrity furious reactions to the news Donald Trump will once again be president after winning the election.

Billie Eilish

Billie did not mince her words in her short but damning response. “It’s a war on women.” Says it all, really.

Ethel Cain

Alternative singer Ethel Cain has always been outspoken about politics, and as a trans woman you can imagine the fear she must feel about a Republican victory. In a lengthy statement, Cain said ““If you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.”

Jamie Lee Curtis

In a hefty and well put statement, the always outspoken Jamie Lee Curtis gave one of the most inspiring celebrity reactions to the US election news. She said ““Many fear their rights will be impeded and denied. Many, minority groups and young people will be afraid. Gay and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve. For all those people there will be those who will help you. Me included. But what it really means is that we wake up and fight.

“Fight for women and our children and their futures and fight against tyranny, one day at a time. One fight at a time. One protest at a time. That’s what it means to be an American. That’s what it has always meant and will always mean regardless of the outcome.”

Cardi B

Cardi B posted a fuming video demanding Trump fans leave her alone. And that she’s only got one cig left. So fair.

Marina

“I was just thinking, I actually don’t feel mad at Trump supporters. I feel fucking sorry for them. It just occurred to me that they can’t possibly imagine how much better life could be with a female president like Kamala Harris. They don’t even know what’s possible because they’re just stuck in this old paradigm. Today I’ve just been thinking a lot about leadership and how often we equate leaders with power and control – but true leaders are the ones that help people.”

Christina Applegate

In one of the most talked about responses from a celebrity at Donald Trump scoring the US election win, Christina Applegate has gone on a tirade on Twitter fuming at any naysayers. “Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done. Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years because this is sick.”

She was also demanding one person arguing with her give her their phone number so she could kick off.

All in all, a depressing era is upon us.
