Wichita makeup artist Gypsy Freeman was very excited to win the Kat Von D Instagram makeup contest.

The winner and her guest would be flown to California to attend the launch party of a new makeup line.

But after Kat Von D discovered she was a Trump supporter they disqualified her.

Kansas.com reported:

An Instagram post showing support for President Donald Trump apparently disqualified a local makeup artist from a national contest.

Gypsy Freeman, who splits time between Wichita and Florida, last month was declared the winner of an Instagram contest sponsored by Kat Von D Beauty, according to screenshots taken by Freeman.

The winner of the Saint + Sinner Contest – and a guest – was to be flown to Los Angeles to attend the launch party of a new makeup line from Kat Von D, perhaps best known for her role on “LA Ink.” The approximate value of the prize package, which included a $500 gift card to Sephora, was $2,100.

To enter, Freeman submitted an Instagram image of an angelic figure beside a girl in an all-black outfit and thick mascara.

When Freeman was announced as the winner, curious Instagrammers went to her page and found a pro-Trump post from Election Day last year.

That evening, she received a direct message from Kat Von D’s personal Instagram account, telling her the celebrity had “drawn a personal line in the sand between myself and anyone who supports that man,” according to screenshots of the conversation.

“My launch party [and my brand] celebrates many things that Trump is against,” the celebrity went on to say, according to the screenshots. “And I just need you to know that I personally have a hard time with inviting anyone who would support such an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump.”

It's a good thing she wasn't asked to bake a cake or make a floral arrangement.

Forcing people to bake a cake makes it possible to force them to serve her too.

I would sue them for everything they’ve got.

Not that it matters, but I don’t think President Trump takes any of those positions Kat VD says he does. Another RAT kool-aid drinker.

It’s the Euroweenies again, guys. Kat Von D is part of something called Kendo Holdings, which is owned by LVMH, a French luxury goods conglomerate. So we’ve got a Froggie multinat giving libs big book deals for books that won’t sell, and now a luxury goods conglomerate insulting a goodly portion of its customer base.

I’m not sure what the law is in a case like this. If you enter and win a contest, and then are disqualified for some reason unrelated to the rules of the contest, is there some sort of actual or implied contract that has been violated? What if this was something major, like the Publisher’s Clearing House contest?

I think you might care if this is result of another French multinational sticking a finger in our eye. I don’t think the idgits at Kat Von D went out and did this without clearing it first.

I can’t understand why women choose to disfigure and mark themselves up.

“And I just need you to know that I personally have a hard time with inviting anyone who would support such an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change fascist such as Trump.”


Trump is none of those things.

He was one of the first major CEOs to promote women to top management. There were two gay winners to Celebrity Apprentice, and many gay contestants.
Trump wants to prevent letting people who hate us and want to mass kill us into the country. He’s not against legal immigration by anyone else.
Neither Trump nor anyone else is “against climate change.” We know climates change. Trump doesn’t believe in letting globalist control industry by claiming humans change the climate.
Trump is no fascist. It is the Left wanting to top down control all citizens.

So Kat von D has outed herself as an extremely gullible person.

A “Fascist” is anyone that disagrees with a Liberal.

I think that giving the lady the $2,100 prize money, in exchange for a promise not to sue, would be cheap lawsuit insurance.

They better pay it and hope she accepts. They opened themselves up to punitive damages.

Whoops. They could find themselves prosecuted under a federal wire fraud beef.

Lagardère and LVMH. What’s the saying? Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is an enemy action...

I looked at many pictures of her before I posted that one, and to me, she is very pretty. That being said, I disagree with the petty way she acted to the winner.
