Yo, LA fam, there’s some serious tea spilling in Hollywood right now, and it’s all about our quirky queen, Jennifer Coolidge. The White Lotus star, who’s been slaying it on the red carpet and in our hearts, just got dragged into a social media mess after peeps noticed she ‘liked’ conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s Instagram. In a town where every click can start a wildfire, this move has the internet buzzing louder than a Sunset Strip party.
While some fans are keeping it chill, pointing out that Coolidge has liked a mix of political heavyweights from Kamala Harris to Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden, the woke mob ain’t having it. They’re coming for her hard, saying a like for Kirk - known for his right-wing takes - feels like a betrayal. As reported by the Daily Mail, the backlash is real, and it’s got that SoCal summer energy of pure heat.
Dive into the comments, and you’ll see the shade being thrown faster than a convertible cruising down PCH. One user dropped a screenshot of Coolidge’s like and straight-up said, ‘I’m done with Jennifer Coolidge after this.’ Another chimed in with a heartbroken, ‘Please tell me this isn’t real,’ while a former stan moaned, ‘Okay, this one hurts.’
The drama gets spicier with some fans lamenting the loss of their icon. One user cried, ‘The gays have lost another white blonde middle-aged woman,’ while another added, ‘They took her from us,’ hinting that the right wing snatched Coolidge from the LGBTQ+ community, who’ve adored the 64-year-old actress for years. It’s pure Malibu-style drama - all waves and crashes.
‘I can’t believe Jen would like something so outta left field - it’s like finding out your fave brunch spot in WeHo secretly supports something wild,’ tweeted a disappointed fan.
Not everyone’s just sad - some are straight-up savage. One user spread a wild rumor, claiming Kirk believes ‘gays should be stoned to death,’ which is total fake news since there’s no record of him ever saying that. Then there’s the racial spin, with another commenter venting, ‘This is why y’all need to stop blindly following white celebrities. Y’all are gonna get your hearts broken every time,’ as noted by PrimeTimer.com.
Another X user went full blast on white women, posting, ‘We gotta stop being surprised when a white woman is MAGA. Most of them are imao.’ It’s a convo that’s got more layers than a Venice Beach street mural, and it ain’t slowing down anytime soon.
Here’s the kicker - no one’s sure if Coolidge is even running her own Instagram. Like a lot of Hollywood A-listers, she might have a team handling her socials, and as of Monday morning, that ‘like’ for Kirk’s account? Poof, it’s gone. But don’t think her page is all conservative - she’s still following hardcore left-leaning accounts like Mediastouch, plus celebs like Rosie O’Donnell and Don Lemon, and even the anti-Republican podcast ‘I’ve Had It.’
It’s a mixed bag, kinda like the crowd at a DTLA rooftop bar. Whether it’s Jen or her squad behind the clicks, this whole saga is a reminder of how one tiny tap can blow up bigger than a Hollywood blockbuster.
While the internet was losing it, Coolidge was busy owning the stage at the Emmys on Sunday. She spilled a hilarious story about getting kicked outta an actor’s group chat after racking up too many awards - savage! She even cracked a joke about finding out from The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki, saying they ‘share an Ozempic dealer.’
That’s classic Jen, bringing the laughs even when the drama’s hotter than a Santa Ana wind. Whether she’s navigating social media scandals or stealing the show, Coolidge remains a total LA legend. Keep your eyes peeled, fam - this story’s got more twists than Mulholland Drive.
