Transgender actress Laverne Cox under fire from her woke fans after revealing ‘MAGA cop’ boyfriend

Transgender actress Laverne Cox is under fire from her own fans after admitting that she secretly dated a Trump-supporting police officer for four years.

The star, 53, who is known for her extremely progressive politics, enraged her woke fanbase after dropping the bombshell about her love life in a video to promote her upcoming one-woman show.

She also admitted that her cop lover was 22 years younger than her.

‘He was 26, I was 48,’ she explained. ‘He is a blonde hair, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer.’

While they’re no longer dating, Cox admitted that they were ‘madly in love’ during their time together.

She also gushed about how ‘hot’ he was, but insisted that she never adopted any of his conservative political views. 

The post was met with extreme backlash from fans of the Orange Is the New Black star, with many expressing complete shock and disbelief that she could date a Republican while publicly preaching her progressive politics.

‘You should’ve taken this to the grave babe,’ wrote, while another commented, ‘So you recorded this, edited, and STILL pressed upload?

A third commented, ‘It’s the smiling with pride, that’s bothering me. As if it were a badge of honor.’

Another said, ‘Sooooo the morals are dismissed when he’s hot. Got it.’

After feeling the fury from her fanbase, Cox attempted to fix the situation by releasing a 53-minute video diving into her own politics as well as the reality of the relationship.

She also said that some of her fans were ‘dehumanizing people with different political beliefs’, which she said was ‘not consistent with my values’.

On top of that, the star insisted that she wasn’t MAGA and had ‘never’ voted for Trump.

‘What was beautiful about the relationship I had with my ex is that for three and a half of the four years we dated it was amazing and we would agree to disagree, and managed to still have fun, managed to still see each other’s humanity and love each other across these differences,’ she said.

Despite her clarification, Cox still received backlash from her progressive followers.

‘Respectfully, why are you navigating a relationship with a blonde, blue-eyed, MAGA, Republican?’ asked one.

A second commented, ‘He voted against YOU! He voted against who you are and what you stand for, your basic rights! He voted against who you advocate for, your trans community. You may have ‘loved’ him, but he most certainly did NOT love you.’ 

‘Respectfully…..I think you need to love yourself more. Because you SIGNIFICANTLY lowered yourself to be with a man who did not deserve you,’ wrote a third. 

Last November, Cox publicly stated that she and her transgender friends were considering moving out of the country due to Donald Trump’s presidency.

‘We’re doing research on different cities in Europe and in the Caribbean,’ she told Variety.

Cox went as far as comparing the Trump administration’s anti-LGBTQ rhetoric to the German Reich of the early 1900s.

‘There was this a thriving community of queer people in Berlin pre the rise of Nazism. They attacked Jewish folks. They attacked immigrants, they attacked queer and trans people,’ she said.

‘I don’t want to be in too much fear, but I’m scared. As a public figure, with all my privilege, I’m scared, and I’m particularly scared because I’m a public figure,’ she continued.

‘I feel like I could be targeted. I think they spent close to $100 million on anti-trans ads. It’s deeply concerning.’
