Kesha strongly condemned Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance for his remarks about “childless cat ladies” running the country, joining a growing number of celebrities speaking out against the politician’s controversial statements.
The “Tik Tok” singer, approached by paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport, expressed her displeasure with Vance’s comments. “Boo! F–- that man! That’s all I have to say. F–- them all. That’s absolutely sexist,” Kesha said, adding that she plans to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
Vance, 39, faced renewed criticism this week after a 2021 Fox News interview resurfaced online. In the clip, the Hillbilly Elegy author questioned how politicians like Harris and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could shape the Democratic Party’s future without having children of their own.
“How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” Vance asked in the interview.
The comment drew swift backlash from various public figures, including actress Jennifer Aniston. The Friends star took to social media to express her disbelief, writing, “I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United States.” Aniston, who has been open about her own fertility struggles, also voiced concern about the potential impact of Vance’s views on reproductive rights.
Harris, 59, is stepmother to two adult children with her husband, Doug Emhoff. Her stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, 25, defended the vice president on social media, praising her relationship with her “three parents.”
The controversy comes as Harris gains momentum in her presidential campaign following President Joe Biden‘s withdrawal from the race last Sunday. Several high-profile endorsements have bolstered her candidacy, including support from former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Entertainment industry figures such as Beyoncé, George Clooney and Ariana Grande have also publicly endorsed Harris for president.
