The 40 year-old-old Amber Rose, took to her Instagram account yesterday to share a photo of herself posing with the 77-year-old former president and his wife, Melania Trump, 54, at a black-tie event.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Trump, who is widely regarded as the Republican front-runner for the 2024 race, received Rose’s endorsement through her Instagram caption, which read, “Trump 2024 ususus.”
This post quickly led to a wave of backlash from her followers in the comments section.
Rose, a longtime advocate for women’s rights and the founder of Slutwalk—a movement she started in 2015 to combat rape culture and victim-blaming—faced criticism for what many perceive as a hypocritical stance.

@tambam_421 reacted, “I’ve never unfollowed someone for political reasons but to speak on feminism the way you have then align yourself with him, let’s me know it was all fake from the jump. There’s no way you can support women while supporting this man. I hope it’s all worth it for you.”
