Olivia Newton-John’s Instagram account’s under fire after posting a pic of the late star in support of Pride … with commenters rushing to blast the post’s intention.
The actress — who passed away back in 2022 — still has an active social media account, and the IG admin decided to share a snap of ONJ in a rainbow-covered sweater … wishing all of the late actress’ followers a Happy Pride Month.
While it seems a rather innocuous post, it started a firestorm among Newton-John’s followers … who flooded the comments section with a ton of homophobic comments.
People called the post sickening — with many specifically calling out the account’s admin for using a picture of the deceased Newton-John to “push an agenda.” Go check out the post for yourself … some say they are unfollowing after leaving hateful comments.
FWIW … some are pointing out the rainbow sweater was actually meant as a stand against cancer — rather than for LGBTW+ rights — but, it seems a bit odd anyone’s upset at all given Newton-John’s history with the LGBTQ community.
Olivia was a huge ally of the LGBTQ+ community during her lifetime … speaking out for gay rights repeatedly and posting messages of support to social media for past Pride months.
She even performed at the Los Angeles Pride Parade back in 2008 … so, she stepped up for the community time and time again during her life.
As we mentioned … Olivia passed away in 2022 after a 30-year battle with metastatic breast cancer. She was 73.
It seems many think Olivia wouldn’t approve of the post … but, they gotta do more research ’cause the late Newton-John was always proud of Pride!

Where were you people years ago while she was supporting pride? NOWHERE. You left it alone. She always supported them. It took a washed up wanna be orange ape to bring you all out of the woodwork. Even kid rock. You know he hangs out with them right? The Bud Light thing was all a paid stunt. He relishes spending time with them. Why can’t you just leave people alone to do what they want? NONE of them are hurting you or your children. They have been around since people existed. Stop the hate and worry about your own lives before someone decides to regulate your decisions.
I was never a fan of any of these perverts. I never will be. The Bible said a man and a woman not man and man or women and women read it. I don’t go around making out in public ever. There is a reason for closed doors. God has stated this fact so live by it. Don’t force me or my children on your mental problems. Take it home where it began.
Gee Pat….as your mother probably ask you many times “if you see somebody jumping of a cliff, are you following then”?
Try to live and let live
You are entitled to believe in your fairy tale book and I am entitled to wonder about the sanity and intelligence of people that believe in that book full of perversions and mass murders, BUT I am not going around screaming or ranting about them
AGAIN…Live and let Live and respect the life styles of people that are doing you no harm….That is what Jesus would want….
