I don’t believe Kristin Chenoweth or Brittany Johnson, for instance, are naive enough to not expect their primary fan bases to be upset from their posts."
Some celebrities do have hard-to-find private accounts solely for their actual close circles. But many celebrities at least have people who handle their public accounts to some degree, or at least should, to prevent this sort of thing.

I mean, I think the major thing you lost was... context. Scherzinger commented on noted nutjob Russell Brand's photo of himself wearing a MAGA-style hat days after the election.

Many people in entertainment are republicans and hiding it but the elephant in the room, especially when we're talking about musical theatre, is Christianity. Musical theatre is a deeply Christian coded artform and even when Christians are not conservative, it is incredibly hard to be a Christian in America and not hold at least someeeeeee conservative beliefs.
A friend gave me a first hand account of the week post-like at Sunset and Nicole was basically so upset that people would think she voted for Trump and when they explained why liking that post made it pretty easy to think that she just responded that she liked it because it said Jesus.
Celebrities are already not always the brightest bunch but add in the religious aspect? You're always gonna be on the edge of disappointment with these people.

If you care at all about LGBTQ+ lives, you would share Kirk's concerns and criticism on islam. The left doesn't seem to do anything to stop their suppression and abuse of women and their goal of murdering of gay people, to name a few problems. In fact, they are defending it. Thousands of islamic schools in the west teach children that homosexuals must be slaughtered and that beating women is ok and that you can rape them, it's in Quran. And islam is not a religion, it is an ideology that has not been through enlightenment. Whenever you say something about this, the left starts to attack the messenger.
The left pretends their intentions are good. But good intentions can be evil. It's not hard to see where the real danger lies.
"
Is "the left" here with us in the room right now? Blink twice if it's hiding in the closet.
You're describing a shadowy, all-powerful hivemind that somehow exists everywhere and nowhere at once, holding a single opinion on all things.

I don't think publicists have entirely caught on yet, but Instagram puts the people you follow's likes and comments right up top on posts. They should all be advising their clients to just stop commenting on any post that has to do with politics/religion, unless they want that associated with their name/brand going forward. I forget where I got this from, but I heard the expression "If you wouldn't want it on a billboard with your face next to it, don't post it online." More than ever, you should be careful with what you say or don't say it at all.
Especially with the Kirk situation, there are SO many people who have public-facing jobs that are commenting on this online in one way or another. Yet, they get mad when people respond or react. I wish more people realized that more often than not, your words are not needed. If you're raising awareness for a cause you care about, then yes, please speak up. But there's no reason you need to comment on every major news story on your public Instagram account. You gain nothing by doing that, and unfortunately, in today's day and age, you just stand to alienate more people.

And since this is BroadwayWorld Forum, you can double controversy by mentioning BOTH Broadway Pattis!

Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) made the rounds of Sunday morning news programs today. I watched his interview on NBC's "Face the Nation" this morning.
Be prepared for the spin that's being put out into the public re: the cause of political violence in America. Cox and other Republicans are blaming The Internet and social media. Cox stated, "I can't emphasize enough the damage that social media and the internet is doing to all of us."
Cox stated last Friday (re: Tyler Robinson): "There was a radicalization that happened in a fairly short amount of time." When pressed for details on Sunday's "Face the Nation" (specifically, How was the suspect radicalized? and How quickly did it happen?) Cox replied: "Well, again, those are pieces of information that we're still gathering, trying to understand."
How can they make the claim of "radicalization" before they've completed gathering the evidence, or are still "trying to understand"?
No one has dared to mention the unabashed bullying behavior of the Commander-in-Chief, like the very recent "Chipocalypse Now" threat Trump made on the city of Chicago as being a possible explanation for why Americans are upset enough to consider political violence.
Nope. It's social media and the "deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture, and these other dark places of the internet" (Cox's description) that are radicalizing our children.
And republicans are gonna make d@mn sure nobody crosses any unacceptable lines with social media posts. Careers are now at stake.

It's a weird thing for them to fixate on considering how integral platforms like Reddit, Discord, Facebook, and Twitter/X were and are to MAGA. The mythical dispossessed young men that Kirk spoke to and that form a huge part of the Trump movement are also extremely online- they play video games, they stream, and they're on these platforms. There is no MAGA youth movement without them.

Honestly, I think this whole "the internet is radicalizing our children" is just a bait and switch to try and take focus off of the Epstein files, tariffs, possible government shut-down, and just plain ol' "Trump" in general.
Blaming the internet has better optics than any explanation that might indicate Americans have had enough of Trump and others who think like him.

Yes and they haven't seemed to mind Trump not enforcing the TikTok ban that Congress passed.

It's absolutely a distraction, as are their desperate attempts to link this to trans people.

it is kinda wild that Patti LuPone caught such a storm for asking the theater next door to turn the music down, and Chenoweth is publicly mourning an out and out bigot and fascist with nary a response from "the industry"--whose hypocrisy simply has no bounds.
every other word out of charlie kirks mouth was insulting minorities, fomenting rage at sane moderate policies, and generally lying about data to justify his bigotry. his murder is an outrage that must be condemned from every rooftop but his views were vile. chenoweth's best defense here is her inexcusable ignorance. disgusting.

If you didn't dig at all into Charlie Kirk, it's likely all you'd know is that he was the "conservative debater prove me wrong guy," and that his catchphrase in marketing was "Christ is King." There's a whole lot of not-very-online people who are not super discerning in their politics, who hear those two facts, don't dig any deeper, and assume he was on the side of the angels based on that limited data set.

I'm glad you wrote this because until he was killed, I had never even heard of him. I was wondering if that was true for others as well.

Let's look at the actual facts instead of beating around the bush with that kind of distractions.
The family and friends of the killer claim that he had become a radicalized leftist. Usually internet, universities and (friend)groups or partners are the main reasons for that.
He was dating a trans guy (or transgirl, however you want to put it). 6 trans people in their circle posted descriptions of the killing in the days and weeks before the killing. All with the date September 10th added. Tyler's transgender partner is friends with a transgender account on TikTok that goes by the name "churbum75m (saw Tyler June 30th)". Minutes after Charlie was confirmed dead this transgender posted "WE F*CKING DID IT". Another account in their group, "TallyHallAlbum" had said on september 3rd: "it'd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO". Another account in their friendlist, trans group and Utah area (altulige) had posted: "september 10th will be a very interesting day". And another account (NajraGalvz) had posted a day before the killing: "Charlie kirk is coming to my college tomorrow maybe someone evaporate him literally. Let's just say something big will happen tomorrow". There are now 6 known people in his circle that seem to have had prior knowlegde of the killing.
Aside from that, two of the bullets found in Tyler's rifle had engravings consistent with radical far left transgender ideology. "Notices bulge OwO" is a reference to "chasers", gay men who like trans women. Noticing the trans man's "bulge". Also known as GAMP. Which means he is attracted to transgenders. The other bullet had engraved "Catch fascist" which is self explanatory. He was also a member of Antifa, he dressed in all black, and he was a member of a pro-trans and gay movement. One of the other bullets had the text: "If you read this you are gay LMAO" ingraved, which was obviously meant as a "funny" insult to Kirk, because the shooter incorrectly assumed that Kirk would take that as an insult or would be against that.
We also know that Tyler was very active on transgender discords. A hotbed for radicalization and far left extremism. The question is, who else were involved in the planning?
According to his father Tyler had no rifle in his possession and never had weapon training, so who gave the rifle to him? It seems like a combined effort involving multiple people and meticulous planning.
By the way, Charlie never claimed trans people do not exist. He only asked people "what is a woman" and made the statement that young children should not be exposed to these medications, things like that. Personally I am just interested in facts. Of course trans people do exist and they should have the same rights as everyone else. Because is a person their brain or the shape of some body parts? I think it's both. And some people are lucky that these things match, while others find out that it doesn't match. To the people say "trans men are not real women", I would like to say: True, but nobody is claiming that. That's why they are trans women, born with a female brain and a male body" (or vice versa). Nobody claims they are naturally born women. There isn't even a discussion, there is room for all of it. We should just name it for what it is and not pretend anything else.
The same goes for this case and all the details that are coming out. The fact is that killing someone over a political opinion is radical. And that there is no need at all for attacking people who express grief over it or who mention the facts. As is happening in this thread. Because that's quite radical as well.
