Simmons Says Celebs Should Keep Politics to Themselves

Celebrity Stance on Politics: A Call for Focus

Simmons told a reporter that people in show business should focus on their work instead of talking about politics.
He added that the public does not care about what celebrities think on voting or other issues, even if they are well‑known.

“Fans do not want lectures from those who live in large homes and drive fancy cars.”
“Entertainers should stay quiet because nobody really cares about their opinions.”

The rocker dismissed a famous actor who had spoken against the current administration, stating he was not interested in his views.
He jokingly suggested that some viewers could ask a popular reality star about her thoughts on the war.

In February, the actor joined a protest that was a counter‑event to the State of the Union.
The gathering featured a well‑known actor who urged Americans to ignore daily wrongs happening under the president’s rule.

Earlier this year, Simmons appeared before a Senate panel to support a bill that would pay musicians when their songs are played on the radio.
He said the legislation is meant to help future stars get fair compensation.
