Jewel apologized to her followers on Instagram a few days after participating in President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The 50-year-old posted a video to her account and stated, “I am so sorry that I caused pain.” You are gems, especially in my LGBTQIA+ community. The world is a better place because of you. I will not give up since you have improved my life.
During the inauguration, Jewel sang at a celebration in honor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“I’m really sorry, and it hurts me,” she remarked. I feel like I let some of my longstanding admirers down. Being a light in this world is what I aspire to. I make a sincere effort to be a light in your lives because I understand that we need to become more light in the dark. Therefore, I’ll get up tomorrow and try again, and I’ll rely on everyone of you to follow suit. I adore and respect each and every one of you.
She claimed that her support of mental health was one of the reasons she sang at the event.
She said, “I would never leave the bench if I wanted to until I was completely in agreement with the people who might be willing to help me.” I don’t believe that waiting until everything is ideal before getting involved is how activism operates. Actually, we have to figure out how to participate because things are so flawed. We must take action immediately. We can’t hold off for four more years.
She went on to say that while she disagrees with all politics, she will make sure that mental health is discussed if she can influence legislation. I’m willing to try and fight if I can assist in providing resources or mental health tools to those who are most in need.
“And I realize that what I said was too basic,” she added. I respect the fact that half of our nation is experiencing hope at the moment. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that half of our nation feels unprotected, afraid, and disenfranchised.
