00:00Soap star, Nancy Lee Grand, refuses to watch Jimmy Kimmel.
00:05Over Carrie Underwood appearance, it seems not even a singing voice as gold.
00:10As Carrie Underwood is safe from Hollywood's ongoing political tantrums.
00:15Longtime General Hospital actress Nancy Lee Grand made it clear last week that she was not
00:20tuning in to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:22Not because she has an issue with the host, but because she couldn't
00:25bear to see country superstar Carrie Underwood on her screen.
00:29The reason?
00:30Underwood sang America the Beautiful a cappella at President Donald Trump.
00:35Second inauguration last year.
00:36Yes, seriously.
00:38I refuse to even look at it.
00:40Carrie Underwood, Grand posted on threads, announcing her boycott of the episode featuring Underwood.
00:45And her fellow American Idol judges.
00:48When her comments sparked headlines.
00:50The 69-year-old Soap veteran doubled down, saying she'd just watch Kimmel next week instead.
00:55What made the eight-time Grammy winner's performance so offensive to Grand?
01:00Apparently, simply participating in a presidential inauguration, one that millions of Americans
01:05voted for, was enough to trigger a full-on boycott.
01:10Hollywood, who has long maintained a stance of keeping politics out of her music, had said at the time that
01:15she was honored and humbled to be part of a historic event for Grand.
01:20That was too much.
01:21To no one's surprise, Grand made her reasoning clear by unleashing her.
01:25Unleashing a venom-filled political rant on Facebook.
01:28She blasted Trump, his...
01:30allies, Fox News, and even ICE agents, referring to them as a KK capital.
01:35Her anger, she said, was so intense.
01:40that her teeth hurt.
01:42Gran has long blended politics with red.
01:45Criticizing Republican leaders and public figures.
01:50Her latest remarks target Carrie Underwood, who has remained silent while promoting
01:54American Idol.
01:55Critics argue that the controversy reflects Hollywood's double standard, in which
02:00calls for tolerance often exclude differing political views.
