Melania Trump’s long-time makeup artist Nicole Bryl says she is a victim of ‘cancel culture’ because of difficulties she faced after choosing to continue working with the First Lady. In a YouTube video interview with Ahmed Ashrafi, New York-based Bryl stated that other makeup artists and her followers on social media have told her to denounce the Trump family and their politics.
“That is not an excuse to just cancel humans for just, you know, your own fun,” Bryl said. She complained that since she continued working with the Trump family, she was pressured to drop them as clients by her fellow makeup artists. “They wouldn’t talk to me,” Bryon said. She claimed her followers have ‘totally cancelled’ her and have pushed her to remove any mention of the Trumps from her social media accounts. Bryl also said that at one point she felt she might go “broke” because people who didn’t like her political opinions were choosing not to patronize her business.
Bryl went on to call out her “bullies” in the video. She stated that Melania Trump is “one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known or worked with, and she’s been nothing but kind and she herself has been bullied, and I’m not walking away from that.” The video’s viewers disagreed, however.
“She chose to align herself with racists and bigots, accept the consequences,” said one Reddit user. Another person added, “And for all of their persistent bluster around entitlement, they seem to feel they are entitled to someone else tolerating them and keeping them employed. They are not.”
Not that amazing, actually
Though Melania Trump isn’t exactly the most prominent or controversial figure in the Trump administration, she certainly isn’t the most innocent, either. Where has she been during the ongoing disaster that is ICE? And what about the time Trump himself called a Bloomberg reporter a “piggy” when he was asked about the Epstein files?
Remember the time she went to visit a migrant child detention center and decided to wear a jacket that said ‘I don’t care, do you?’ on the back? Definitely not one of her more “amazing” moments. There was also the time she announced her “Fostering the Future” initiative, an offshoot of the Be Best initiative she launched during Trump’s first term as president, which aims to provide support for children aging out of foster care so that they can receive college scholarships, access to computer science education, and work toward financial independence – which would be great if, at the same time, her husband wasn’t in the middle of gutting the Department of Education, SNAP benefits, and Medicaid.
