Heigl Fires Back at Critics Over Trump Club Charity Choice
Clear Facts
- Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl attended Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
- Event raised over $5.5 million for Big Dog Ranch Rescue, largest U.S. cage-free no-kill dog sanctuary.
- Heigl defended appearance emphasizing animal advocacy transcends politics.
Katherine Heigl made her first public appearance in two years at President Trump’s Florida resort Sunday.
The charity benefited abused and abandoned dogs through hands-on rescue efforts.
Online critics attacked her for choosing Mar-a-Lago, ignoring the cause.
“Animals don’t vote. The only room they don’t like is the euthanasia room at a shelter…This event was about animal advocacy–something that has always been deeply personal to me,” Heigl stated.
“As a society, we should all come together to protect the voiceless and the innocent. This should not be a polarizing issue,” she added.
One commenter sneered: “No, but if they did they would have better judgement than you!”
Heigl replied: “Just curious…what do you do that really matters…do you think comments on an Instagram post matter to animals who have had humans pour gasoline on them and set them on fire? Who have had humans vote conservative or liberal but have been left to starve and suffer? Seriously…I’m very curious what you truly think matters to the voiceless and innocent…actions or just Instagram posturing?”
True patriots prioritize saving animals over partisan games at Trump venues.
