Laverne Cox Faces Backlash Revealing Ex Was MAGA NYPD Officer
Transgender actress and activist Laverne Cox has sparked controversy after revealing she dated a younger New York City police officer who is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter. Cox shared this revelation while promoting her upcoming one-woman show, "Gurrl, How Did I Get Here?", explaining that their political differences became apparent only after they had developed feelings for each other. Despite the backlash from fans and members of the LGBTQ+ community—who saw the relationship as conflicting with Cox's progressive values—she defended her choice by emphasizing love, empathy, and ongoing conversations about white supremacy. Cox clarified that she did not share any of her ex's political views and that their relationship ended because love was not enough to overcome their differences. The controversy intensified as prominent figures in the drag and queer communities publicly expressed disapproval, and Cox addressed criticism in an Instagram Live session, attempting to humanize her ex and discuss the complexities of political identity in relationships. Critics also noted the timing of Cox's revelation, coinciding with her show promotion and political commentary, which fueled further debate about her alignment with trans advocacy.
