Actress and producer Sophia Bush had a scathing response to a MAGA follower who used her image to attack a political leader in a social post over the weekend.
Bush responded to a user named James Lewis who posted a photo of Bush and another woman inside a classic car with the meme text: “Get in loser. We’re driving by Tim Walz’s house and yelling ‘r-word.’”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) voiced concern last week that people are driving by his home, rolling down their windows and yelling the slur for developmentally disabled people, mimicking President Donald Trump after he used the derogatory term to attack him.
Bush — a longtime voting rights advocate and philanthropist — didn’t hold back and reacted to the advertising image of herself and the attack on Walz:
“Hey James. That’s me on the left. You do not have my consent to use my image for harassment of a public official. Delete this or expect to hear from my lawyer, and lawyers for the OP brand whose ad campaign you’re using without permission as well. Shame on you!”
Last week, Walz described the impact the president’s attacks have had on him in real life and criticized GOP lawmakers for staying silent.
“This creates danger. And I’ll tell you what, in my time on this, I’ve never seen this before,” Walz said. “People driving by my house and using the r-word in front of people. This is shameful and I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official, say, ‘You’re right, that’s shameful. He should not say it.’”
