When I commented on these posts, I made the mistake of not realizing that they could be easily interpreted as being politically related and I apologize to anyone who understandably reached that conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe former Pussycat Doll singer continued, \u201cMany presumptions are being drawn, which do not reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who I voted for. Many of the marginalized communities feeling hurt and concerned by the results of the presidential election are people I care about most. I stand with them, as I always have, throughout my life and career. If you know me, you know that. Like so many others, in times of adversity and uncertainty, I turn to my faith. I believed that the posts I engaged with were about encouraging people to choose love and faith \u2014 \u2018putting Jesus first.\u2019 For me Christ embodies peace, compassion, hope, and above all \u2014 unconditional love, especially for those who may feel it the least right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tShe concluded, \u201cI come from a place of love, and I will always support values that bring us closer together. It\u2019s so important we come together with compassion, and love one another more now than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  size-large alignnone\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure  lrv-u-font-family-secondary u-color-medium-grey lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-light-grey-tint-two u-margin-b-150 lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:603px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<p>\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-variety-2020\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7238.jpg?w=603\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7238.jpg 1179w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7238.jpg?resize=88,150 88w, https:\/\/variety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7238.jpg?resize=177,300 177w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"1024\" width=\"603\"\/><\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-t-1 lrv-u-padding-b-1\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xs u-margin-b-050\">Screenshot, @nicolescherzinger via Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMany fans blasted Scherzinger after interpreting the message as pro-MAGA because the hat is reminiscent of <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/donald-trump\/\" id=\"auto-tag_donald-trump\" data-tag=\"donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s signature red hats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFurthermore, Scherzinger was criticized for engaging with Brand, who was accused of \u201crape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse\u201d by five women in a joint investigation by the Sunday Times of London and Channel 4 last September. A subsequent lawsuit accusing the actor and comedian of another act of sexual assault was filed two months later. Brand has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tScherzinger, who didn\u2019t immediately comment when the controversy blew up on social media Thursday, campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008. She also revealed she is pro-life in a previous interview with The Daily Mail, explaining that she follows her family\u2019s beliefs after her mother\u2019s parents refused to let her get an abortion when she was 17 and pregnant with the future Broadway star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tScherzinger\u2019s performance as Norma Desmond in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/sunset-blvd\/\" id=\"auto-tag_sunset-blvd\" data-tag=\"sunset-blvd\">Sunset Blvd.<\/a>\u201d has been hailed by critics and audiences as a masterpiece.
