Julia Roberts Torched for Claiming Male MAGA Supporters Are Forcing Their Wives to Vote Trump

Hollywood actress Julia Roberts is facing backlash after claiming women are being held as political hostages by their conservative husbands who are forcing them to vote for Donald Trump.

In a newly released ad for the Harris-Walz campaign on Monday, Roberts called on women to go behind their husbands’ backs and vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose,” Roberts says as the woman goes to vote.

The woman looks around before moving her pen to above Trump’s name when she locks eyes with another woman.

“You can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,” says Roberts.

They then both cast their ballots for Harris before returning to their husbands, who asked them, “Did you make the right choice?”

“Sure did, honey,” the woman says, smiling.

Roberts concludes, “Remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth. Vote Harris-Walz.”

Harris and Democrats are trying to frame themselves as champions of women, focusing on abortion rights.

But critics, many of whom were women, slammed the ad on x:

“Your commercial insinuating that women voting for Trump are being coerced or intimidated by their husbands is insulting,” wrote New Hampshire Senate District 18 candidate Victoria Sullivan.

Other critics slammed Roberts for encouraging women to lie to their husbands.

“Thanks, @juliaroberts, for asking married people to lie to each other,” wrote conservative X user Mrs Denosko.
