Former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial in New York prompted some priceless reactions from Tinseltown celebs. As the first US president to be found guilty of a felony, the conviction was historic. Trump could receive a four-year prison sentence at the scheduled July 11 hearing, although it’s deemed less likely by many legal experts, as per EuroNews. Many in Hollywood have been sworn critics of the Republican frontrunner and did not hold back in slamming him over the same. Here are some of the most noteworthy roasts.
Katy Perry was one of the first people to react, posting a succinct yet poignant reaction to Trump’s conviction on X, formerly Twitter. The former American Idol host wrote ‘LFG’, which stands for ‘let’s f***ing go’. Perry has been a vocal critic of the Republican frontrunner for many years now, famously tweeting just after the 2016 election results, “Do not sit still. Do not weep. MOVE. We are not a nation that will let HATE lead us.” She added, “We will never be silenced” and urged fans to ‘rise up’.
Barbra Streisand wrote on X, “Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury, and New York for being found guilty on 34 counts. He will never accept accountability for his crimes. Americans must not allow this felon anywhere near the White House again.” Streisand has always been very critical of Trump. “Art is the enemy of tyrants and dictators,” she famously said in 2023, as per The Hill. “I believe we all have not only the right but the responsibility to be politically active and to question authority,” she added.
