Hollywood Reacts to Hush Money Verdict
Jun 1, 2024
Mark Hamill, Lynda Carter, George Takei and Sheryl Lee Ralph are among those in Hollywood who have taken to social media to share their reaction to Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York criminal hush money trial.
A jury found the former president, who could face four years in prison or probation, guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. Throughout the five weeks of testimony, the jury heard from a former tabloid publisher, a Hollywood fixer, Trump’s former lawyer and a porn star.
Trump also became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. Sentencing is set for July 11.
Ralph, star on Abbott Elementary, quickly took to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, writing, “Former President Donald Trump has been found guilty of all 34 counts he faced. A cheer has erupted from Collect Pond Park.”
Star Wars alum Hamill shared a graphic that repeated the word “guilty” several times, while actor Billy Baldwin wrote, “Guilty on all counts. E. Jean Carroll [Check emoji] Stormy Daniels [Check emoji] Election interference, espionage and inciting an insurrection coming up.”
“The Republican candidate for President is a convicted felon,” author Stephen King said on X.
Bloodline actor John Leguizamo shared on social media, “We are all cheering for justice and that no one is above the law!” Star Trek star George Takei also took to X to write, “We should start referring to him as 34 instead of 45.”
Carter, the star of Wonder Woman, wrote on X, “34 is now my favorite number.”
Actor-singer Barbra Streisand also said in a social media post, “Convicted felon Donald Trump is blaming the judge, the jury and New York for being found guilty on 34 counts. He will never accept accountability for his crimes. Americans must not allow this felon anywhere near the White House again.”

If Trump becomes a convicted felon and elected officials are still willing to support him, I’m sure they’ll have no problem with him having used the N-word.— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) May 30, 2024

Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first.
