Donald Trump has bizarrely called for Beyonceto face legal action – concerning contested issues of endorsements.
Several months following his assertion of victory in the 2024 election, the President remains visibly upset about the outcome.list of names who came forward to support the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
In reality, several months following the emergence of theories aboutsocial mediaThat Queen Bey received $10 million for her performance at a rally in Houston, the 79-year-old claimed she violated the law by accepting a multi-million-dollar check.
Posting on Truth Social over the weekend, he expressed frustration: 'I'm looking at the significant amount of money that the Democrats owe following the presidential election, and the fact that they admit to paying, likely illegally, $11 million to singer Beyoncé for an endorsement (she didn't sing a single note and left the stage to a crowd that was booing and upset!).'
The former television personality also criticized supposed endorsements from Oprah Winfrey and activist Al Sharpton, claiming they have accomplished nothing.
Those absurd fees were wrongly recorded in the books and accounts," he continued. "YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL TO DO SO.
Can you envision the consequences if politicians began compensating individuals to support them? Chaos would ensue!
Kamala and everyone who accepted endorsement funds violated the law. They all should face prosecution! Thank you for your attention to this issue.
This is not the first instance where Trump has referenced the amount, although he provided no additional details about its origin.
During a February radio interview with Mark Levin, he merely stated: "Someone just showed me something. They gave her $11 million."
However, CNNclaims that there is no indication that the Texas Hold ‘Em singer has ever been paid $11m in connection with Harris' campaign.
It remains uncertain how the number was determined, and the White House has not yet responded to the absence of evidence supporting Trump's assertions.
Beyoncé caused fans to become overwhelmedWhen she took the stage at a campaign gathering in Houston just before the voting ended, joined by her Destiny’s Child colleague Kelly Rowland.
"I'm not present as a celebrity, nor as a politician, I'm here as a mother," she said to the audience.
A mother who is deeply concerned about the world that my children and all our children inhabit, a world where we have the right to make decisions about our bodies, a world where we are not separated.
Picture our daughters growing up witnessing the possibilities without any boundaries or restrictions. We must cast our votes, and we require your support.
As reported by CNN, campaign financial records indicate a payment of $165,000 made to Beyonce's production company, categorized as a 'campaign event production' cost.
This follows a campaign representative's earlier statementDeadlinethat they were legally obligated to cover expenses associated with a celebrity's appearance, but refused to compensate the stars themselves.
Senior advisor and media representative Adrienne Elrod stated: 'We do not make payments. We have never compensated any artist or performer. We have never provided a fee to that individual.'
There are regulations that must be adhered to, which we have strictly followed throughout this campaign.
Campaigns must account for 'any additional costs' associated with a celebrity's involvement, which may include travel, setup, catering, and beverages.
Even though Bey has not directly responded to Trump's statements, her representative described the claims that she received $10 million for the appearance as "completely absurd."
Tina Knowles expressed dissatisfaction with the rumors and used Instagram to mention that a previously removed post about the allegations had been 'marked as false information'.
It's referred to as False Information,' she wrote. 'Regrettably, other platforms lacking in integrity still have it posted. The falsehood is that Beyonce received 10 million dollars to speak at a rally in Houston for Vice President Kamala Harris.
When in Fact: Beyoncé did not earn a single penny for speaking at a Presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’s Rally in Houston. In fact, she covered the cost of her own flights for herself and her team, along with the entire Glam.
They are not only deceiving and dishonoring Beyonce's name, but they are also attempting to undermine the influence of our vice president! When will these falsehoods and speculations end? [sic].
Oprah was also compelled to reject claims that she received payment for endorsing Harris, as it was alleged she was paid $1 million — a sum that actually benefited her Harpo production company.
In a comment on an Instagram post from the Shade Room, she stated: "Generally, I tend to avoid responding to rumors, but lately, I've come to understand that if you don't address a lie, it grows larger. I didn't receive a single penny. My time and effort were my way of supporting the campaign."
For the live streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was requested to provide set design, lighting, cameras, crew, producers, and all other required elements (such as the benches and chairs we used) to stage a live production.
I didn't receive any personal payment. Nevertheless, the individuals involved in that production were compensated. And they were. That's the end of it.
