Many people will never forget when Chrisette Michele decided to be one of the few African Americans to support Trump, by performing at his presidential inauguration in January 2017. That decision quickly catapulted her from R&B music’s ‘princess’ to the ‘Black sell-out poster child’ of today’s generation. Ever since that fateful decision, Chrisette’s fans have dragged her to hell in back on social media.
Recap ofPrior Trump Backlash
She then fell largely off the scene for a minute, but lately, she’s been returning to the public eye to speak out about her fight toward rebuilding herself after the Trump inauguration backlash. As we recently reported, Chrisette revealed, in a new Essence interview, that not only did many fans turn on her, so did her family. She also revealed how Trump dissed the hell outta her at the inauguration:
“Originally I was supposed to perform directly after his first speech, and I had done that with Barack Obama before, so I was used to that kind of experience,” she said. “And the woman who organized the event came and told me, ‘Now you’re going to go first and he’s going to go after you.’ I looked her in the eye and said, ‘My family has disowned me. If you decide to Google me, you’ll see that America is writing about me in their newspapers. I’m the black poster child for discord right now, and he’s not going to shake my hand?’ So no, I didn’t get to meet him.”
Many have accused her of selling her soul for a Trump check. Chrisette, however, has previously attempted to explain her side- that she performed for Trump to try to bring people together. Now though, she’s revealing even more personal tragedies that happened as a result of her Trump performance…
Suicidal Thoughts & Dropped From Label
On Saturday (Oct. 29, 2017), Chrisette took to Instagram to spill her heart out about more of the pain she’s suffered from the Trump backlash. She first revealed that she could not handle the pressure and became suicidal (SWIPE)…

Not sure what made Chrisette finally reveal these details about her life after the Trump drama. But even though many do not agree with her prior decision to hop on the Tump train, understandably so, it’s still sad to see how much of a toll her decision has taken on her. Many would say that sometimes you gotta learn the hard way, when you’re blinded by dollars and cents. It seems that is unfortunately what Chrisette has had to do.
She never said that she now regrets her decision to perform for Trump though. But since she’s revealing so much else about herself, maybe she should also reveal whether, or not, she still stands by her Trump decision. That will help her fans understand exactly where they stand with her at this point in her career. Well wishes to Chrisette Michele.
