When asked by
The Express about Trump appointing
Jon Voight,
Mel Gibson and
Sylvester Stallone to be ambassadors to Hollywood and if she would like to join the team, the comedian said, "No, I'm on my own, baby. I'm above all that."
The remarks come weeks after Barr revealed
that The Apprentice star and his employees had distanced themselves from her during his second term. "I'm not a party-line person for anyone or anything except myself," she explained in a January interview with
Variety.
"The Trump staff, or whoever runs it, they're a little afraid of me. I'm a loudmouth comedian, so I understand it. It really hurt my feelings. But what are you going to do?" the mother-of-five admitted.
Trump took to his Truth Social account last month to reveal how the film actors would be helping his
administration. "It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone as Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place — Hollywood, California," he began.
"They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to foreign countries, BACK — BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears and I will get done what they suggest," the businessman penned.
"It will again be, like The
United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!" he exclaimed.
During the America First Policy Gala at Mar-a-Lago in
Palm Beach, Fla., in November 2024, the
Rocky actor, 78, called Trump the "second
George Washington."
"We're in the presence of a really mythical character … Nobody in the world could've pulled off what he pulled off, so I'm in awe," he said.
Ahead of the election, Gibson, 69, praised the Republican while taking a swipe at his opponent Vice President
Kamala Harris.
"I know what it'll be like if we let her in. And that ain't good," the
Braveheart actor claimed in a video shared to social media.
"Miserable track record. No
policies to speak of. She's got the IQ of a fence post," he said of the former senator, 60.
