Although Grahn didn’t specify why she “refused to even look” at Underwood in her original post, many commenters, including anti-Trump comedian Kathy Griffin, suggested Underwood was too “MAGA” for liberal fans.
“I’ll follow you! Yeah, I’m not in love with Carrie. It’s not just about political disagreements anymore.” Griffin commented.
After the post went viral, Grahn wrote another post clarifying that she wasn’t attacking Kimmel in her comment and reiterated her anger at Underwood “for obvious reasons.”
“The truth matters. I LOVE Jimmy Kimmel and watch him every night. I would never ‘slam’ him. I just said I would watch him next week because I didn’t want to look at his guest that night, Carrie Underwood (for obvious reasons). Come on guys, I’m not worth this stupid clickbait.” Grahn wrote.
