John Shearer / Getty Images Yesterday, La La allegedly shared an Instagram post endorsing Cuomo while encouraging New Yorkers to get out and vote. "It's Election Day here in New York City, pls get out & VOTE!" she said alongside a photo of herself and Cuomo. "I've known [Andrew] for years, he's passionate on criminal justice reform, and I've seen firsthand the kind of leader he can be! We need him!" @lala / Via x.com The post quickly sparked backlash, with many people pointing out Cuomo's problematic history - including sexual harassment claims from 13 women. John Lamparski / Getty Images In 2021, an investigation found that Cuomo had sexually harassed over 10 women, leading to his resignation as governor. Cuomo has continued to deny the claims, and according to Bloomberg, has since reportedly spent over $60 million in taxpayer funds defending himself against the allegations and other controversies, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. X quickly lit up with reactions. "Lala you fucking dweeb!" one person said on X, as another criticized her for supporting Cuomo despite the allegations. Johnny Nunez / Getty Images "@lala is clowning," someone agreed. "you are out of touch or scared to lose your bread and don't care about others." Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images "Everything can't be about the coin," another added. "At some point you have to care about the people that keep your dumb ass in demand." Udo Salters / Getty Images One more agreed that Lala's post was "weird and embarrassing." James Devaney / Getty Images People also brought up more of Cuomo's broader controversies, with one user criticizing him for a recent "AI attack ad full of stereotypes including 1 black man stealing from a store & another pimping out a van full of white women. But sure Lala let's say 'he supports criminal justice reform' to convince The Blacks to vote for Cuomo." Spencer Platt / Getty Images Others also argued that there are more important issues. "Americans have bigger fish to fry we don't give af about criminals," one person tweeted. Taylor Hill / Getty Images At the same time, though, some people weren't surprised. "Her bestie is Kim K... what did you expect? Lmao," read one viral tweet. Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images La La didn't appear to directly address the backlash, but as previously mentioned, she seemingly deleted the post, prompting even more criticism. "AN EVEN BIGGER BOZO MOVE, SHE DELETED THE STORY! NAH HOLD THAT L," read one tweet with over 20,000 likes. Derek White / Getty Images La La wasn't the only celebrity who endorsed Cuomo before Zohran Mamdani's historic win. According to the New York Times, Amy Schumer, Marc Anthony, Elon Musk, and more public figures backed him, too. Andres Kudacki / Getty Images BuzzFeed has contacted reps for La La for comment on the validity of the post and the backlash to it. In the meantime, let me know what you think of this below.
