Nicole Scherzinger Faces Backlash for Response to Russell Brand’s Post Celebrating Trump’s Win

Nicole Scherzinger has become the focus of speculation she’s a Donald Trump supporter after leaving a comment on a social media post by Russell Brand.

Scherzinger, currently starring in Broadway’s new production of “Sunset Blvd.,” drew criticism on social media Thursday evening after she posted a positive comment on Instagram, beaming at a post by Russell Brand in which he flashes a red hat reading “Make Jesus First Again.” Posted in the hours ahead of the U.S. presidential election, Brand captioned the post “God Bless America.”

“Where do I get this hat?” Scherzinger wrote in a now-deleted comment, alongside a prayer hands emoji and a red heart emoji.

Many fans took offense to Scherzinger’s positive sentiment toward iconography associated with Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan and signature red hat campaign wardrobe, just a day after the Republican nominee defeated Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

A representative for Scherzinger was not immediately available for comment.

Along with the Trump-related imagery, others have noted the additional controversy of engaging with Brand himself, who was accused of “rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse” by five women in a joint investigation by the Sunday Times of London and Channel 4 last September. A subsequent lawsuit accusing the actor and comedian of another act of sexual assault was filed two months later.

Brand has denied such claims.
