Singer-songwriter Parson James has publicly defended his close friend Nicole Scherzinger amidst online speculation regarding her political stance. Responding to claims that Scherzinger supported or voted for Donald Trump, James was vocal on social media, firmly stating that the allegations were false and that she didn’t endorse or vote for Trump, emphasizing that Scherzinger is a deeply religious and genuine person.

A long-time friend and collaborator of Scherzinger, James stood by her character and values, assuring fans that she did not endorse or support the former president. Jared Gelman, also a friend of both artists, echoed James’ support, further dispelling the misinformation circulating online. Gelman accused those spreading the rumors of intentionally vilifying her, pointing out that she doesn’t even support Trump.

Nicole herself has addressed the issue, stating, “The presumptions being drawn do not reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who I voted for.” Her actions over the years reinforce this stance, as she has consistently supported causes that diverge from Trump’s policies. Nicole has been vocal in her advocacy for the Black Lives Matter movement, endorsed California Attorney General Rob Bonta, and campaigned for Barack Obama, including supporting Michelle Obama’s projects. Scherzinger also covered Michelle Obama’s song “For My Girls.” She has advocated for justice system reform and celebrated and supported LGBTQIA+ Pride events worldwide.
