Hollywood witnesses collective meltdown after Kamala Harris' defeat against Trump

The victory of former US President Donald Trump, and his return to the US President Office following the US Presidential Elections of 2024, has ruffled many feathers in Hollywood.

Several Hollywood celebrities who rallied behind Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris, reacted strongly to Trump's win. Actress Viola Davis posted a photo of Harris and thanked her for "loving America's promise," adding, "I am and will forever be proud.”

Singer-songwriter Billie Eilish took to the Stories section of Instagram, and wrote, “It's a war on women”.

Rapper Cardi B posted a video of herself watching the results of the 2024 Elections. She said in the video, “I hate y'all bad". She also conducted an Instagram Live, trashed Trump supporters.

Author Stephen King took to X and expressed concern for democracy. He posted, "There's a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: Lovely to look at, delightful to hold, but once you break it, then it’s sold. You can say the same about democracy.”

Singer-songwriter Ariana Grande, who is set to star in the film adaptation of Wicked later this month, wrote, “Holding the hand of every person who is feeling the immeasurable heaviness of this outcome today.”

A huge chunk of Hollywood campaigned for Kamala Harris including superstars like Robert Downey Jr. and Taylor Swift.
