When are celebrities going to understand the actual impact of celebrity? Its getting embarrassing. TikTok-star-slash-actress-slash-musician-slash-bad-bleep Addison Rae has begrudgingly responded to online backlash for introducing herself to former president Donald Trump at a UFC match back in July. I mean, I dont support Trump, Addison Rae, last name Easterling, told the Los Angeles Times. And if someone does, thats their opinion and I respect everyones opinion, for each their own. But its very rare on occasion that you ever get to meet a former president, and I think most people could agree with me on that. Its very uncommon. And I consider myself a friendly person, and so introducing myself does not mean I stand behind anything that any respective person condones. Basically, retweets arent endorsements and, apparently, neither is walking up to someone while theyre watching a UFC match, tapping them on the shoulder, and saying, Hi, Im Addison. Nice to meet you. I have to say hi. Hello. Its so nice to meet you. The 20-year-old Hes All That star has been accused of being a Trump supporter more than once since breaking out on TikTok last year. Just last September, a TikTok user claimed to find her registered to vote in Tarzana, California, as a Republican. First Im from Louisiana, second Im not even registered to vote and never have been Im actually doing it for the first time with someone important and Im excited to do so, she commented at the time. Heres some useful information you can actually take away from this: Dont meet your heroes or your villains. And register to vote!
