Jamie Lee Curtis is passing on a lesson for her children to follow and telling the “haters” to “back the **** off.”

 

The “Halloween” star set the record straight on a couple of issues, including her recent Instagram debacle, as she accepted the Advocate of the Year award as one of the Out 100 honorees at the magazine’s celebration, letting one message ring clear above all others: “Freedom is the goal.”

 

Freedom is the goal for all LGBTQ human beings. Freedom is the goal and my love for both of my daughters is absolute,” she said, referring to her daughters Ruby and Annie Guest. In 2021, Curtis opened up about her youngest coming out as trans telling AARP The Magazine, she and her husband Christopher Guest “have watched in wonder and pride” as they witnessed her transition and shortly after, her wedding which Curtis officiated.

 

“It has never wavered and it will never waver and as their mother it is my job to help protect them. And I hope teach them that this is what you do when you’re a parent. You suit up and you show up with your heart open and your arms outstretched and your aim true. And your job is to tell the haters to back the **** off,” she continued in her acceptance speech.

 

She then took a turn in her speech, addressing a recent social media blunder that set the internet ablaze as fans of the actress were quick to call out a mistake on her Instagram page. The actress recently made headlines last month when she accidentally posted a photo of children in Gaza to her Instagram timeline, mistakenly claiming that they were Israeli, in an attempt to show support for the youth victims trapped among the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

 

The post has since been deleted, but Curtis had this to say in her first statement addressing the moment: “Love, acceptance, family and community are my cornerstones. But I’m also human and therefore I am flawed and contradictory. And I make mistakes. I post things incorrectly, and I say the wrong thing occasionally, and I try to own them. But, in this time of great conflict around the world, we are all every one of us are trying to find our individual center of care, and compassion, and outreach, so that we can use our voices to help people amidst the cacophony of hate that is surrounding us.”

 

She added: “My entire life has been focused on the care and treatment of critically ill and injured children, wherever they are, whoever they are, whatever country they’re from, whatever their circumstances, religious affiliations. I will continue to do that, amidst all of the anger and division and cleaving of our shared coexistence our shared humanity. And tonight, I hope you will join me as I pray for the safe release of all hostages all over the world — especially children — and I pray for the cessation of violence perpetrated against all people all over the world, especially the children.

 

“Mostly, tonight, here in this community, I pray that homophobia and transphobia that has been championed in the name of religion by the right is exposed and silenced as wrong by the love of humanity that is the center of our gay and our trans community,” she said in closing.

Jamie is also backing Adam Schiff in the California Senate race, saying:

 

As MAGA Republicans attack transgender children, LGBTQ equality, abortion rights, and ban books, I’m grateful we have a leader like Adam who will always stand up to the people abusing their power.

“Whether it’s [former President Trump,] big corporations, or special interests — Adam stands up for what’s right,” Curtis said of Schiff, who served as a House impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment trial.

“But the truth is that many of the most important fights we face as a country will be waged in the United States Senate,” added Curtis, 64.

“And California needs to elect a Senator we can send there to get things done,” she said.

Jamie has been standing with ALL children affected by the war and victims of violence despite what certain disingenuous viral social media posts might say.

I thought she was retiring…

retiring from what? she's arguably been re-peaking careerwise and I doubt she'll ever ever stop being vocal/public about many different causes she's been involved with for decades. she's one of the most loyal allies we've had in Hollywood who constantly makes an effort to educate herself when called out about certain topics too
