Actress Amanda Seales is being slammed for alleging that the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally on Saturday was “staged.”
The 43-year-old star stated her theory in a video that was shared on X.
“That was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of Madea Runs for President,” Seales says in the clip. “I lived in Harlem long enough to know gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove,” she continued.
“Pop, pop, pop. Where’d the blood come from? So in theater, in movies, they have what’s called blood pellets,” the actress went on. “People used them at Halloween. It’s basically a pellet of fake blood that’s in your mouth and when you crush it blood comes out.”
“To be frank, small hands Trump, would not respond by raising his fist in the air triumphantly were an actual attempt made on his life,” Seales said.
“This was, I believe, done to try to show his strength counter to Biden’s fragility,” the actress said to explain why the event would be faked.
She concluded by quoting the 1990 romantic drama “Ghost” starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. “My God. Molly, you in danger girl,” Seales said in closing.
The actress received criticism online for making the remarks.
“She has no empathy, no compassion, nothing. A person DIED, 2 are fighting for their lives @amandaseales but it was ‘staged,’” one person wrote.
“An innocent man who attended the rally, to support his candidate is dead you unbelievable, idiotic piece of human garbage,” another commenter shared.
A third echoed, “What about the dead people? Was that fake too[?]”
Sky News Australia host James Macpherson also called out the Hollywood celebrity. “These people are so consumed with hate that they’ve lost all contact with reality, haven’t they?” he said.
Journalist Brad Polumbo agreed that what Seales was suggesting was a “grotesque and irresponsible conspiracy theory with no basis in reality.”
The man killed at the rally was identified Sunday as 50-year-old Pennsylvania firefighter Corey Comperatore. State governor Josh Shapiro gave a press conference and described the victim as “a hero” who dove onto his family to protect them when bullets started flying.
Comperatore was killed while two other rally attendees were critically injured following the assassination attempt. Trump was struck at the top of his right ear by one of the bullets.
