Lili Reinhart Voices Support for Trump's Accusers

Lili Reinhart expressed her heartbreak for Donald Trump's sexual assault accusers as he neared victory in the presidential election against Kamala Harris, stating, "I cannot fathom the feeling of the women who came forward about their sexual assault at the hands of Trump". In her posts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, Reinhart criticized the millions who voted for Trump, calling him a 'convicted rapist' and reaffirming her belief in the victims. She faced backlash from some social media users urging her to stay out of politics, to which she responded defiantly. Reinhart's comments come amidst ongoing controversies surrounding Trump, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 26 women, with a jury finding him liable for sexually abusing journalist E. Jean Carroll in May 2023. Despite the accusations, Trump secured key states during the election, a fact that has drawn widespread condemnation from many celebrities and public figures. Reinhart's outspoken stance reflects broader societal tensions surrounding the implications of Trump's past and current political support.
