Jennifer Coolidge, the beloved actress known for her quirky roles, recently found herself at the center of a social media storm.
The uproar began when some users noticed that she had "liked" the Instagram account of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This seemingly innocuous action sparked a wave of backlash from the so-called "woke mob," who were quick to criticize Coolidge for her apparent association with Kirk.
While some fans pointed out that Coolidge's social media activity includes likes for a diverse array of political figures, such as Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Jill Biden, the criticism was swift and severe. As reported by Breitbart, one user expressed their disappointment by stating, "Im done with Jennifer Coolidge after this," while another pleaded, "please tell me this isnt real."
The reaction from the LGBTQ+ community, where Coolidge has long been a favorite, was particularly vocal. One user lamented, "They took her from us," suggesting a perceived betrayal by the actress.
The controversy also saw the resurfacing of unfounded claims against Kirk, with one user falsely asserting that he believes "gays should be stoned to death," a statement Kirk has never made. The incident even took on a racial dimension, with some users cautioning against blindly following white celebrities, as noted by PrimeTimer.com.
Another user generalized, "We gotta stop being surprised when a white woman is MAGA. Most of them are imao."
It remains uncertain whether Coolidge personally manages her Instagram account or if it is handled by a team, a common practice among celebrities. By Monday morning, the "like" for Kirk's account had disappeared from her profile.
Interestingly, her account also follows several far-left Instagram accounts, including Mediastouch, Rosie ODonnell, Don Lemon, and the podcast "Ive Had It," known for its anti-conservative stance.
During the Emmys on Sunday, Coolidge shared a humorous anecdote about being removed from an actor's group chat after winning numerous awards. She quipped that she learned of her exclusion from actress Elizabeth Debicki, with whom she "shares an Ozempic dealer."
This lighthearted moment at the Emmys contrasts sharply with the social media drama, highlighting the unpredictable nature of celebrity life in the digital age.
