Jewel APOLOGIZES After 2025 Donald Trump Inauguration Controversy | E! News

So she was fine with performing until the backlash. Now, she turns it into a mental health issue. These people wouldnt support those who proposed various things in the interest of everyone, including mental illness. So now, even tho the issue has been brought to light and addressed, during the Biden admin. needs to blame said admin for not addressing it. Pitiful . She doesn't care about the people, or groups she named. To even claim that the previous admin didn't address is Ludicrous and self serving. A Number of high profile celebs even started admitting their challenges with mental illness. If she had mental illness issues, her team should have told her t might not be a great idea to perform, unless you completely agree with everything trump, and, she did. She's completely fine with this current admin, that's why she performed.

Has she been in the wilderness for the last 8 years?? She knew there would be backlash.

Sorry? Donate the money you got from Trump and the GOP to programs. Every cent.

Jewel you f’d up especially after a homeless person. You kinda sold out.

[lorigravelin]

Don’t believe a word she says. Just trying to keep a few fans.

[mr.blonde]

Disgusting. All that good work just thrown away.

[HalfwayJac]

Nothing has been better for my mental health than waking up to an existential threat every day. Thanks Jewel!

[AmandaWilson-qk]

Well that’s it for me and jewel. I couldn’t care less about if our opinions are the same. I thought she was a woman with her own mind. I now think she is a terrible example for my daughter and a sycophant that our family doesn’t want to support.

The Department of Mental Health (DMH), wants to extend their sincerest apologies to the public. The individual who made this post is allegedly one of their patients who has unfortunately escaped. They are taking all necessary steps to locate him and ensure the safety and peace of mind of everyone involved. They deeply regret this incident and are actively working to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

You only apologize when you've done something wrong. You don't apologize for other people's ideologies; utter lunacy.

[BubbaJohnson]

Not buying your bs. True colors are shining through

Jewel, I love ya, but you could have done the same thing you did with the last administration and talk to the surgeon general. Did you perform at any inaugural event for the last administration?

Plus, it seems like any conversation one tries to have with people in this administration, because they either tell you what you want to hear or talk over you and disregard what you have to say. They only seem to work on anything that will help themselves in some way and denegrates anyone who disagrees with them.

I am so confused. Can someone explain to me why Jewel or any other Celebs need Government endorsement or financial support regardless of who is in Office? Why doesn't she start her own private practice and hire the best holistic mental health doctors and let the results speak for itself.

[modaz]

Why apologize? She obviously thinks that Trump is a swell guy, or she wouldn’t go. Singing at a Trump event isn’t doing much for people’s mental health. She must think we’re dumb.

[petapumpkineater]

Maam, those people could not care less about mental health or helping anyone for that matter other than themselves

[BethStokes]

Anyway the money blows. These celebrities are so weak. Grow a

[purple]

Girl please. You don’t apologize to the lunacy of this cult. Sadly jewel has lost all respect. Rip to sanity.

[MarkKnaggs-uf]

As an artist, you know full well that optics are a huge piece of the program. How you could say these things about inclusion, when the person you honored with your singing, is the least inclusive person, is beyond me. Your actions do not in any way follow your rhetoric. Sad how you capituated.

[Motoinc]

STAND UP FOR YOUR CHOICES.
Dont APOLOGIZE for doing what you want to do.

[beitgorski]

That’s funny, didn’t realize “treasure” is what you throw under the bus
