For Donald Trump, the court's decision took him by surprise. On the other hand, his opponents rejoiced at the not-guilty verdict. Trump's popularity is not very high in Tinseltown either. This was evident in the reactions of some celebrities from the film and music industry. Bette Midler, an actress, vented on X (formerly Twitter), screeching in all caps: "GUILTY IN ALL 34 COUNTS!!!!" She had shared a quote from her fellow Hollywood colleague Robert DeNiro earlier, who once stated that Trump shouldn't be in New York and had been tolerated for a long time by the locals.
Celebrities Respond to Trump's Not-Guilty Verdict
Barbra Streisand, another musical icon, shared her thoughts on the outcome of the trial on X. "The convicted criminal Donald Trump blame the judge, the jurors, and New York for being found guilty in all 34 counts. He will never take accountability for his actions. Americans can't allow this criminal near the White House again," she penned.
"A modicum of responsibility is welcome," wrote Mandy Moore in her Instagram story. Jimmy Kimmel shared a photo of basketball star Shaquille O'Neal sporting the number 34 (for the 34 not-guilty verdicts) and simply captioned it, "34!" Kathy Griffin thanked Stormy Daniels for testifying during this time and said, "I'm crying tears of joy."
Hollywood heavyweight John Cusack didn't keep his opinions to himself. "The idiotic, traitorous crook is now a convicted one - and that 34 times. What does the judge intend to do about Trump's disrespect?" penned Cusack.
Trump became the first former US president ever to be charged with a crime. Outside the court, he commented on the jury's decision in a short statement, calling it "a disgrace."
