Jennifer Holliday Will Not Perform At tRump's Inauguration — Page 5

Her original response with the hostile self-pity and "f"-you attitude is the real Holliday. The well phrased, oh so sensitive follow up is nice back peddling on the part of her PR team.

Again.. I'm done with her.

I'm tired of the decades of belly-aching and arrogant bitterness.

She should perform for Trump. Her angry personality is in line with him and his supporters.

F*CK her. At this point, she's just trying to save her own ass. Anyone with two connected brain cells would know better than to have agreed to perform for that orange nightmare in the first place.

Disappointed she gave in to all these cowardly bullies. Very sad that an artist is unable to do what she wants because of all you nasty people.

Say 2 nasty bullies and bigots.

The amount of irony, lack of self-awareness and blatant narcissism, in this thread, by people who supposedly love theater, supposedly support freedom of speech and supposedly support "______rights," is astonishing.

Irrespective of my dislike or like for Trump or anyone else, a bully is a bully and name-calling comments, devoid of substance and designed to shut down an opposing viewpoint, expose themselves for what they are.

You could have just been describing the orange pig's entire presidential campaign.

^ Matt Rogers, so behaving the same is the solution?



It's sad she felt the need to obey to the bullies, but she probably had a talk with her agent who tried to limit the **** the bullies throw at her online.

By the way, what if Donald Trump visited the Color Purple with Jennifer Holiday on Broadway? And if he did, what if there were some of these bullies in the audience that night too? And what if she did refuse to perform that night? Would the bullies like that and go home too?

Hypocrites.

Imagine that all professional situations would be led by personal issues and bullying. Oh, we don't like the president so let's incite people to conspire and bully him, not work around him anymore, people in restaurants to not bring him food anymore, hairdressers to never cut his hair anymore and performers to never appear around him anymore. What is this? Primary school?

Get over yourself. It's a job. Every broadway performer could go home right now if he/she does not want to perform for people with different views. Audiences are full of them.

Imagine what kind of pathetic, touchy, childish, judgmental world it would be if we would all do that. What kind of example do we want to give? Judging Jennifer for this is just as bad as what Trump does.

I decided to research this. Looks like the decidedly liberal MSNBC doesn't consider Mr. Trump unfriendly to the LGBTQ community, which seems to be the major bone of contention here. I have no opinion either way, but I did find this interesting.

Trump appointed Pence as VP. That alone is not supporting the LGBT community. Look him up, he's a vile, disgusting homophobe who only supports funding for HIV patients as long as they agree to "gay conversion therapy".

I am a liberal democrat (voted for Clinton) and I'm kind of appalled at both sides at this point. Where's the compassion? The empathy? Why do you all assume Jennifer had the worst intentions? I'm glad she's backed out and instead being harsher on her it only reaffirms my belief in the person I thought she was. A good one. I will continue to support her because I believe in her talent and heart. I met her once and she was nothing but nice and genuine. When do we officially call an end to calling each other names? When do we stop lamenting about the situation and start having hope about how to make things better? Instead of getting mad at who's gonna play the clown's inauguration, why don't we focus on making the world a better place even with Captain Evil at helm? I'm just saying. It's kind of ridiculous to give this much attention and hate to ONE WOMAN. We have to stop hating what's happening and start figuring out how to change things and make it better. Those are my two cents.

Another problem I have with Trump supporters is their ideas are usually so bad, we ignore their grammar.
