Insane. She's kissing the little career she has goodbye. Is she that desperate for a job?

My signed poster of Dreamgirls immediately came off the wall this morning. 

 

Bye, girl.

Disgusting.  Too bad, since her well-received performance in The Color Purple could have been the start of a nice second act for her.  Oh well.

Gross and idiotic. She is entitled to her political beliefs but to make this sort of public act is a slap in the face to the few people that still give a sh*t about her.

It's not like she's going to gain new fans from Twitler's fan base. The only thing she can do is lose her existing fan base. What a fool.

This election divided people in more ways than I can count. It's so sad.

Her self-awareness must be zero to none. A.) Is she not aware of the climate of the theatre community she works in and wants to be hired in and B.) is she not aware that LBGTQ audiences have been keeping the lights on for her and how this will alienate them?

Maybe Marie can get her a Nutrisystem gig.

I'd gladly take that signed Dreamgirls poster off your hands since you're so humiliated by it.

We have to be able to separate the artist, the work we love and cherish from the past, and their political beliefs. You can love her talent, and not love her beliefs.

No it's not. Supporting our fascist President-Elect is.

She is entitled to her beliefs. And if this is the case I no longer have to support her as an artist. That is my choice. Unfortunately EvanK fighting for equality on many different levels in my life I no longer choose to separate people and their political beliefs when it comes to my own life and the lives of the ones I choose to have in my life.

No, we don't.

It's a slap in the face to the gay community who supported her all those years when the only gigs she could get were in gay clubs.  This will be the end of her little career renaissance.  I guess she can go back to bus and truck tours of Dreamgirls and continue playing a 74 year old Effie.

You people are so hateful and gross. It's pathetic. So much for being so open to a difference of opinion. Truly disgusting.

No, we don't.

Such Hate and Intolerance.

Yes... those of us expressing ourselves are doing so because we do not support, and speak out against, those who support Captain Creamsicle for the reasons that have been commonly reiterated countless times.  Using those two words does not create a rule for hypocrisy when you purposely ignore the content.  It doesn't work and you know it, so why bother?  You just sound foolish.  Again.
