Addison Rae found herself in a social media scandal after a video surfaced showing the influencer meeting with former President Donald Trump.
In the clip, Rae appears delighted to meet the Republican brandon, whom she willingly approached while attending UFC 246 in Las Vegas in January. “Hi, I’m Addison,” she said, patting Trump on the shoulder before gushing out, “Nice to meet you. I have to say hello. Hello. So nice to meet you.”
Behind the exchange, the group filming the meeting calls out to Rae in front of the camera. “Addison Rae exposed,” a straight-faced guy, while another adds, “She knows what she’s doing.” A third gets more rude in his assessment, saying, “Trump is going to fuck her. Easy.”
Once the video went viral, users repeatedly criticized the TikTok star for possible support for the 45th president. (Rae has denied this allegation in the past, although, according to Buzzfeed, her voter registration was leaked, confirming that she is a registered Republican.)
“She didn’t even have to go to him too. Everyone was seated but she had to fangirl. I walked over to him smiling from ear to ear and talking about ‘that’s nice. to meet you, ‘”one user said, the video tweeted, while comedian Chris Clemens tweeted,” Oopsies Addison… your Republican is showing. “
