Chrisette Michele Shows Graphic Miscarriage Photo &Details She Endured From Trump Backlash

Posted On : October 29, 2017

Many people will never forget when Chrisette Michele decided to be one of the few African Americans to support Trump, by performing at his presidential inauguration in January 2017. That decision quickly catapulted her from R&B music’s ‘princess’ to the ‘Black sell-out poster child’ of today’s generation. Ever since that fateful decision, Chrisette’s fans have dragged her to hell in back on social media.

Recap ofPrior Trump Backlash

She then fell largely off the scene for a minute, but lately, she’s been returning to the public eye to speak out about her fight toward rebuilding herself after the Trump inauguration backlash. As we recently reported, Chrisette revealed, in a new Essence interview, that not only did many fans turn on her, so did her family. She also revealed how Trump dissed the hell outta her at the inauguration:

“Originally I was supposed to perform directly after his first speech, and I had done that with Barack Obama before, so I was used to that kind of experience,” she said. “And the woman who organized the event came and told me, ‘Now you’re going to go first and he’s going to go after you.’ I looked her in the eye and said, ‘My family has disowned me. If you decide to Google me, you’ll see that America is writing about me in their newspapers. I’m the black poster child for discord right now, and he’s not going to shake my hand?’ So no, I didn’t get to meet him.”


Many have accused her of selling her soul for a Trump check. Chrisette, however, has previously attempted to explain her side- that she performed for Trump to try to bring people together. Now though, she’s revealing even more personal tragedies that happened as a result of her Trump performance…

Suicidal Thoughts & Dropped From Label

On Saturday (Oct. 29, 2017), Chrisette took to Instagram to spill her heart out about more of the pain she’s suffered from the Trump backlash. She first revealed that she could not handle the pressure and became suicidal (SWIPE)…

People ask me how I'm so positive after all I've been thru….. When you're laying in bed naked, next to a bottle of Bacardi and Xanex. When you wear pajamas Morning and night. When you don't pick up the phone for weeks, months. When you're afraid to look at social media. I know I've sown positive seeds. I know I've lifted people. I know I've been a part of community activations and black empowerment. When a community sticks its middle finger up at you and completely forgets everything you've ever done, you're worthless… You've just spent ten years kicking your own ass to be there for everyone and suddenly no one is there for you? I don't need to be here…. And when you've drank so much you can't see clearly. And when your speech is so slurred you just stop speaking. You hope you don't wake up. Thing is. I know God. He was kind enough to soften the blow. I promise you, I felt Him cover me like a blanket. I told Him I was out of control. I told Him I was having thoughts about leaving and not finishing all He's called me to. He listened. There in lied my therapy. Music was written in this prayer closet of sorts. Dialogue with God. Call me crazy, but it's better than being dead. There's no one who will make me apologize for shouting from the roof tops that I have the overcoming story of a powerful and #StrongBlackWoman

(PHOTO…SWIPE) Her NEW GRAPHIC Reveal About Miscarriage Due To Trump Backlash

Chrisette and her husband

Then she revealed her miscarriage of her and her husband’s baby. Chrisette says that the miscarriage was caused by all of the Trump backlash. She also posted a lengthy message, as well as a photo of her miscarried fetus online. Check out her post and SWIPE TO SEE THE PHOTO BELOW…

You don't have to be a celebrity to fail, to fight, to struggle. Pain is universal… I went into the gym and trained like a body builder to try and push past the pain I was feeling. I'd run up hill and lift weights heavier then strong men. I'd cry my way thru workouts. My trainer would cheer me up. God bless him. I pushed so hard and ate so much protein, I scarfed away my hurt. My old habits of binge eating disorder began to show themselves. Drinking maybe nothing but water for a day after a day of heavy intake. My trainer didn't know it but he was feeding the demon that covered up hurt with food. I had a long cycle. Something came out of me. It was my child. The one my love and I worked so hard on. I never knew I could allow myself to be so broken that my physical body would break down. A miscarriage? Me? This experience of a broken nation showed itself in my own physical body. That was when I knew I had to pull it together. Heal, Forgive. Just because I had a negative experience didn't mean I had to become negative and broken. When I lost my child I knew that it was time for me to become a #StrongBlackWoman

Record Label Dropped Her

Lastly she said that her record label told her to pretty much ‘get tuh steppin” (SWIPE)…

If social media wanted to pull me down, I guess they succeeded as it pertains to Capitol & Caroline records. I complete an entire album and my label decides to walk away from me. Capitol records. I was quiet for a few days… I go into the studio and literally poured out my heart and soul and the label decides to walk away from me? It's one thing to be a strong black woman, it's another thing to be a strong black woman who has to fight against the worst odds. I went from someone being revered and loved to facing putting out an album in the worst climate of my musical career. No victims here. I get it…. But absolutely human here. How hard can you try to break someone? How hard can you try to ruin someone? How much hate do you need to spew to show me you want to see my demise? I won't stop #StrongBlackWoman

Not sure what made Chrisette finally reveal these details about her life after the Trump drama. But even though many do not agree with her prior decision to hop on the Tump train, understandably so, it’s still sad to see how much of a toll her decision has taken on her. Many would say that sometimes you gotta learn the hard way, when you’re blinded by dollars and cents. It seems that is unfortunately what Chrisette has had to do.

She never said that she now regrets her decision to perform for Trump though. But since she’s revealing so much else about herself, maybe she should also reveal whether, or not, she still stands by her Trump decision. That will help her fans understand exactly where they stand with her at this point in her career. Well wishes to Chrisette Michele.
