Celebrities react with shock to Trump's election resurgence

Donald Trump will assume the presidency of the USA for a second time. In the race for power, he defeated Kamala Harris with a majority of electoral votes, despite the fact that the politician had the backing of stars such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, and Julia Roberts.

Well-known individuals who supported the former Vice President of the United States are utterly devastated. Among them is Lili Reinhart, known from the series "Riverdale." The actress has already posted on platform X, addressing women who for years have described Trump as a sexual predator.

"I can't imagine the feelings of women who spoke about sexual assault by Trump. Seeing millions vote for their abuser. My heart breaks. I believe you, and I am so sorry," she wrote, causing quite a stir online. She later responded on InstaStories to the negative backlash her post received. "You can keep defending a convicted rapist and talking about fake news. I will always believe those women," she added.

To recall, in recent decades, as many as 26 women accused Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual behaviour. In May 2023, the politician was found guilty in a civil case filed by writer and columnist E. Jean Carroll.

The jury announced the verdict—sexual abuse and defamation. However, it dismissed the rape charge. As a result of the lawsuit, Trump had to pay the woman approximately £4 million in damages.
