The Real Reason Jennifer Holliday Is Not Going to Trump Inauguration In Her Own Words (Video)

"The gay community, since 'Dreamgirls,' for 35 years, has been faithfully there for me," she told "The View." "They were hurting and in pain."

Long considered an ally of the LGBT community, she said she didn't want to be perceived as being a "liar" or a "hypocrite" by performing at the inauguration.

 

"Please know that I HEAR YOU and I feel your pain. The LGBT community was mostly responsible for birthing my career, and I am deeply indebted to you," she said in an open letter last week announcing her decision not to perform. "You have loved me faithfully and unconditionally, and for so many years you provided me with work even though my star had long since faded."
