Actress Paula Jai Parker, known for her roles in films like “Friday” and her candid social media presence, has again stirred the pot with her controversial views. Last year, Parker raised eyebrows with her remarks on Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Parker questioned Cassie’s claims and suitability for the entertainment industry in a series of tweets, sparking significant backlash.
Parker’s comments last year focused on Cassie’s inability to stand up for herself when she was 19, suggesting she wasn’t “built” for the industry. Despite insisting she wasn’t accusing Cassie of lying, Parker’s tweets seemed to cast doubt on Cassie’s victimhood. “As an #SA victor, one would think I get it, but I don’t,” Parker tweeted. She expressed disbelief that someone in the industry wouldn’t be able to say no, and emphasized her strength and reliance on faith during her career.
Parker’s views drew heavy criticism, especially her suggestion that Cassie deserved compensation, but also implied she was not a true victim. Her remarks about women making poor choices and setting harmful precedents further fueled the controversy.
Now, Paula Jai Parker is back in the headlines, this time for her political endorsements. Surprisingly, she announced her support for Donald Trump and JD Vance in the 2024 presidential election. This endorsement came as a shock to many of her fans, given her previous controversial statements.
Parker expressed her support for the Trump/Vance ticket in a series of Instagram posts. “You had me at #OHIO #JDsRevenge #JDVance #SenatorVance (I think you would want to allow people to mention you now) if you don’t like me because of my political/religious/romantic interests …you’re a tyrant, and a meanie…l’m allowed 2b me, and I still fuxwitd,” she wrote.
She continued, “That right there say #YES for the #BlackandBrown #Usha remove the H for haters & whata u got #USA #LadyVicePresidentUshaVance.”
