and her politics from her acting career. Even when I watch Rocky Horror I am finding myself saying "fuck you" when I see her character. I sort of have the same problem with Woody Allen. I wish I could distance my favorite films' actors from their off screen personalities. I consciously really try but it is difficult. I feel awful about this. I suppose that entertainers such as Meatloaf (a GQP supporter) will continue to stir things up. I was never into Kanye's music but I can see why he has lost fans.

separating his political opinions from his acting and music, like with Sarandon. Same goes for Kirstie Alley, another vocal tRump supporter. Watching Cheers reruns now I can't help but get irritated seeing her on screen. She is an outspoken Scientology fan/member. After Cheers ended and when Frasier began I read that the Cheers/Frasier producers never even asked her to appear on Frasier as many of the former Cheers cast already had. Kirstey said it was her choice not to "appear on a show which promotes mental therapy as a form of support for mental health issues" since Frasier was a psychiatrist.

When I see her I also see Kanye. I see myriads of pseudo celebs giving political and medical opinions which is based on BS and NO ONE should listen to any of them
