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.”

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

I wonder what the applicable laws are. Imagine if the Publisher's Clearing House did something like this, taking away millions from someone who won fair-and-square, there would be an uproar. I wonder if contests like these are governed by general rules pertaining to fraud, false advertising, contract law, etc., or by specific laws pertaining to contests open to the general public.

an anti-feminist, anti-homosexual/LGBT, anti-immigrant, and anti-climate change

Ok, I can understand the last one, but can anyone tell me how Trump is the other three? I keep seeing and hearing those accusations, but for the life of me, other than the narrative they are trying to push, I dont see any evidence for that.

I see blacklisting has found its way back to America..I remember a time where blacklisting was a no no but not anymore, if you are a Conservative who voted for Trump you get blacklisted, if you are a liberal loon who wants open borders you are celebrated

Kat Von D is best known for being the star of the reality television stars of the TLC series Miami Ink, and her own TLC reality series, LA Ink.

Per Wiki:

Von D married fellow tattoo artist Oliver Peck in 2003.[36] They separated in August 2007, and finalized their divorce later that year.

In July 2007, Von D decided to quit drinking after it started to threaten her work.

From February 2008 until January 2010, Von D dated Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx. She subsequently began dating motorcycle customizer, West Coast Choppers CEO and reality TV personality Jesse James. On August 19, 2010, Von D confirmed media reports that she and James were dating, tweeting, “I think it’s pretty obvious that we’re dating.” Von D and James became engaged in January 2011. Von D announced that they had split in July 2011. However, in August 2011, Von D and James announced that their engagement was back on. In September 2011, Von D announced that she and James had broken up again.

In September 2012, Von D began dating Canadian music producer Joel Zimmerman, known professionally as Deadmau5, and gave him a star tattoo below his eye to match her own. They broke up in November 2012. However, on December 15, 2012, Zimmerman proposed to Von D over Twitter, and she accepted, becoming engaged to him. In June 2013, Von D announced that she and Zimmerman had ended their engagement. Von D cited Zimmerman’s alleged infidelity as the reason.

Von D has tattooed herself with the emblems of the bands HIM, Misfits, Turbonegro, ZZ Top, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Kent, Slayer, Mike Got Spiked and “Slutallica”, a modified Metallica logo. She appeared in the music video of HIM’s “Killing Loneliness”, Alkaline Trio’s “Help Me” and “Black Leather” by Cholo Goth band Prayers. Other musical artists that Von D lists among her favorites include Lemmy Kilmister, The Mars Volta and Selena.

Kat is vegan and promotes a cruelty-free makeup line. In 2016, she received Farm Sanctuary’s “Compassion in Action Award” for her work on behalf of animal rights.

This is how TRUMP won! No one wanted to tell the pollsters they were supporting TRUMP cause of some stupid backlash that may come their way!

Von D certainly went out of her way to make sure her victim/fan understood she was “personally” loathed by this “celebrity.”

Well, FWIW, I’d be really surprised if this didn’t go higher up the food chain than the Kat Von D company. That said, I’ll happily boycott the stuff for starters.

Sounds like they just hate CONSERVATIVE females. If she would have been an LGBTQ, SJW, ABORTION SUPPORTER they would have doubled her prize.

I can’t think of one instance where Trump said or did against LGBT. After the Muslim attack on the gay night club, he came out and said people shouldn’t die because of who they love. Hillary said nothing. He had that gay wealthy IT guy even giving a speech for him at the convention. Yet the left still spreads the lie.
