Thalia has been is the headlines lately for speculation that she may be a Donald Trump supporter. While the Mexican singer has been pretty mute, she has finally decided to set the record straight.
According to FOX News Latino, social media has been in an uproar with news the Thalia may be supporting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after a photo of her using one of his helicopters surfaced online. Since the chatter, Thalia has stated that she is not a supporter of Donald Trump.
The site reports that the photo, which the singer posted on Instagram in December 2014, started circulating among fans and sparked rumors that she supports the billionaire in the U.S presidential elections against Democratic presidential nominee Hilary Clinton despite his controversial comments against immigrants and Latinos.
Things got worse when Thalia's sister, Laura Zapata, added fuel to the fire when she confirmed that the singer and her husband, Tommy Mottola, are friends with the real estate tycoon.
“It was confirmed that they are friends,” Zapata said on the Mexican show, “Hoy,” according to Televisa. “You can’t be in both waters, I say.”
Many people were also quick to believe the news as Mottola was photographed with Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. at an event in 2008.
The 45-year-old singer deleted the helicopter photo recently, and, after Fox News Latino sought comment, shared a statement about the rumors on her Facebook page.
“I want to be 100 percent clear about this: I am not a supporter and never would be a supporter of Donald Trump. I have never been a supporter of his campaign, or anyone for that matter, who has such bad feelings and ill-fated intentions toward my country,” Thalia wrote.
“I am a Mexican woman, and very proud of it. Anyone who speaks of my people in that way offends me and, by the way, everyone in my country as well. Once again, I would like to emphasize that I have not and will never be a supporter of Donald Trump.”
While everyone has the choice of who they are supporting in the election, as a Latina, it is looked down upon to support a man who has no problem disrespecting the culture, women and so much more.
