In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election, defeating incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris. The news has sparked widespread outrage and dismay among several high-profile celebrities who had previously supported Harris’ campaign.

Leading the charge is Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, who had been an ardent supporter of Harris. In an emotional Instagram video, Cardi B expressed her disbelief and frustration with the election results. “I hate y’all bad,” she exclaimed, visibly distraught. The rapper later went on an expletive-filled rant on Instagram Live, venting her anger at Trump supporters. “I swear to God, I’m gonna f*** you up, get away from me,” she said.

Cardi B also read aloud a comment from a fan urging her to attend Trump’s inauguration, to which she angrily responded, “I swear to god I’m gonna f-k you up, get away from me. I’m sick of you! Burn your f***ing hats motherf***er. I’m really sad. I swear to god I’m really sad.”

Despite her disappointment, the 32-year-old rapper expressed her continued support and pride for Vice President Harris. “No matter what, I know that she’s probably emotional right now. I know there’s probably a lot going on in her mind and I know she’s not listening to this, but she will eventually see it,” Cardi B said. “I just hope she knows no matter what happens tonight, millions of people are proud of her. Women around the world are proud of her. Women of colour are proud of her.”

Cardi B’s sentiments were echoed by other Hollywood celebrities, who took to social media to voice their frustration and concern over the election outcome.

Actor Alex Baldwin, known for his scathing impersonations of Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” expressed his dismay on Instagram, writing, “Many, minority groups and young people will be afraid. Gay and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve.”

Similarly, actress Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to share her thoughts, stating, “For all those people there will be those who will help you. Me included.”

Actress Christina Applegate also expressed her anger on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing, “Why? Give me your reasons why????? My child is sobbing because her rights as a woman may be taken away. Why?”

Best-selling author Stephen King also weighed in, drawing a poignant analogy on X. “There’s a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT’S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy,” he wrote.

The 2024 presidential election has undoubtedly left a lasting impact, with many celebrities and public figures grappling with the implications of Trump’s victory. As the nation prepares for the new administration, the voices of dissent and concern from the entertainment industry continue to echo across the country.
