Hollywood actress Katherine Heigl has lashed out at online trolls who lambasted her for merely attending a charity event at the president’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Heigl went to her first red carpet event in two years to attend the Wine, Women & Shoes annual fundraiser on Sunday but was immediately criticized by many on the left.
‘F**k her and anyone attending maga-lago for any reason.’
Many accused Heigl of supporting President Donald Trump since his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was a co-chair of the event.
“I’ll give you this: All of you people who had weirdly intense, knee-jerk hatreds of Katherine Heigl 20 years ago were right,” progressive activist Jonathan Cohn responded.
“OMFG Katherine Heigl is a C**t. Who knew!!!” author Lorraine Evanoff replied.
“If you’re not appalled by pedo Trump, then you’re complicit. Don’t hide behind the dogs,” one user said on the X platform.
“Supporting Nazis. So many orgs that aren’t run by white supremacists. This is a choice,” another detractor said.
“F**k her and anyone attending maga-lago for any reason,” another response reads.
The actress fired back at her critics in a statement to Variety.
“Animals don’t vote,” she wrote. “The only room they don’t like is the euthanasia room at a shelter. They are completely at the mercy of us, and they have no voice of their own.”
She went on to say that animal advocacy is a deeply personal issue for her.
“Anyone who knows me knows that protecting animals is one of my greatest passions,” Heigl continued. “My mother, Nancy, and I have spent years advocating for animals through the Jason Heigl Foundation. As a society, we should all come together to protect the voiceless and the innocent. This should not be a polarizing issue.”
She also personally responded to many comments on social media.

The organizers of the event said they raised $5.5 million for a no-kill animal shelter.
Heigl is best known for her role in the popular “Grey’s Anatomy” television series.
