Jennifer Holliday Pulls Out of Inauguration Performance, Apologizes to LGBT Community (Exclusive) Jennifer Holliday has canceled her appearance at Donald Trumps inauguration event next week, calling her decision to perform a lapse of judgement.
In an open letter, provided exclusively to TheWrap, the Dreamgirls star apologized to the LGBT community, saying she was uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak to my fans.
The Tony and Grammy winner came under fire from some of her fans on Friday after it was announced that she was set to perform at a concert as part of Trumps inauguration festivities.

It seems that social conservatives understand that. Those opposed to us can't give up the social issues rhetoric that has kept us on the plantation for decades. We supported DJT to save the US and what can be saved of our traditional values.
These idiots don't realize they're supporting the war-mongering CIA global manipulations that have gotten us to where we are.
The other thing is DJT is not anti-black. The brain-dead should think it through. Assuming invaders will not be allowed to degrade the job market, black US citizens will be primary beneficiaries.
The Fag-Nazis are at it again. A big so what.
The entertainment industry is going to find out how meaningless they are.
No one needs any of them for anything.
If they went alphabetically with BGLT people would think of a BLT and that would be offensive to all Muslims ‘causing them to lose Muslim support. Remember, it’s a mental illness.
I’ll second that, would have no idea who this person was if introduced. Big star??
It is good that she pulled out, we would not want it to appear
we supported her mode of thought.
Their tolerance will be their undoing —
Why would any entertainer alienate their potential customers this way- does she want to be the next dixie chick act-
By the way who is this non performing performer- and did her manager approve this demonstration
Posting a picture of Hillary would be just as bad!
When you give in to thugs, you embolden them. These people are enablers.
I really do not understand this LGBT crap protesting against Trump. Although their lifestyle is sinfully wrong, Trump nonetheless stated in his RNC Acceptance Speech ‘equal’ protection should be afforded to EVERY American citizen - including ‘The LGBT community’. I cringed but equal is equal. Now if it’s because THEIR ‘Equal’ means us ignoring God’s definition of One Man/One Woman - and that Trump has appointed Christians in his cabinet - it’s a lousy and false story once again by these fascists.
They will not let up until we acquiesce to their morals.
It's the same way with black people. I can understand why someone might infer that Trump hates Mexicans. But what has he ever said that disparaged black people?
Still never heard of her and after this, don't care to ever hear of her if that's her crowd. Enough with all the apologizing for every little thing.
the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history
If the minute lgbtwhatever crowd's issues are what she thinks are every American's issues, then she's still very much uneducated and a lost cause. On the positive side, we now know which side she's on.
Hmmm maybe Putin should offer some Russian entertainers since ours are so anti republican
I kind of don't blame these performers for backing out.
There's no shortage of people in this country who can sing and dance. They arrive by busload to Los Angeles and NYC every day hoping to catch a lucky break. Those who do catch this break, literally a million to one shot, want to hold onto it. The industry is basically telling them, "Sing for Trump and it'll be the last singing job you get!"
And they have this power because equally-talented replacements are lined up around the block.
Integrity is nice but it doesn't pay the bills. This being said, integrity works both ways and the industry bigwigs need to be taken to the woodshed for their petulance.
The HollyWeed Brain ‘Rust .. how quickly they forget their own origins.
She is too dumb to have a career if she doesn’t realize that transvestites and assorted other alphabet weirdos constitute less than 2% of the population. Many of them are too ill to work and live on the taxpayers’ dime, so not exactly flush with entertainment cash. Not a smart business decision.
Nevvver heard of her.
Forgive my ignorance. What is a Tony? How does that apply to my life and beliefs?
I’ve thought Trump was throwing out a few obvious no shows just to shine the light on their hate and intolerance.
