Chrisette Michele has been getting slammed left and right and sadly, much of it is the result of her own doing. By now, everyone knows Chrisette Michele ruffled fans’ feathers when she performed for Donald Trump’s inauguration and that’s when things started going downhill. From her career, to her personal life, apparently, things haven’t been going well. Over the weekend, Chrisette opened up about her personal struggles and she even revealed she’d had a miscarriage. However, fans weren’t exactly sympathetic for a number of reasons. Now, she’s owning up to a few things that may have contributed to the issues she’s dealing with, including that fake miscarriage photo drama…
Recap: A Big Mistake
Although Chrisette Michele recently made headlines for defending Tina Campbell’s (of Mary Mary) decision to support and vote for Donald Trump, she’s now admitted that she regrets performing at the inauguration. As we previously reported, during her recent interview with Roland Martin, she opened up about all of the backlash she’s faced.
“I regret everything that happened. I think that was a bad choice.”
However, she didn’t stop there. She also admitted she knew he wasn’t the best presidential candidate but that didn’t stop her from accepting the invitation to perform at his inauguration. She apologized for the decision she made:
“I knew that he wasn’t a good choice for the presidency…but there’s always got to be some sense of hope. That message on the stage was at the wrong time and the wrong place and I apologize deeply for the people that I hurt.”
For most fans, Chrisette’s political stance has been difficult to decipher. When she publicly defended Tina Campbell, who admitted she actually voted for Trump, it was hard to tell whether she was supporting the gospel singer’s right to freedom of speech and expression or defending Trump. But now she’s set the record straight…but there’s one more issue causing all kinds of drama and confusion.
Chrisette Talks About Her Miscarriage Photo
Unfortunately for Chrisette, the criticism didn’t stop with Trump and the inauguration. While attempting to share details about her personal life, she uploaded a questionable photo when she revealed she’d had a miscarriage. For those who missed that, the singer found herself at the center of controversy when fans called her out for posting a photo of someone else’s miscarriage on her Instagram page.
Michele has since removed the post from her Instagram page, but the damage was already done. To many fans, Chrisette’s post was hella offensive and of course, there were quite a few social media users who had no problems dragging her on her own page. Now, The Jasmine Brand reports that she’s finally addressing the situation. When asked about the photo, she admitted it wasn’t hers and explained why she shared it:
“It wasn’t mine. When what was happening to me, was happening to me, I didn’t think to take a photo. But many women did and many women post their photos on different websites to see what’s going on in their body….I wanted people to know the severity of what I experienced so I put something up to show it.”
It’s obvious that things haven’t been easy for Chrisette Michele. Maybe now that she’s owning up to her decisions and/or mistakes, fans might one day give her a second chance. Only time will tell.
