Gospel artist regrets performing at inauguration ball
Roisin O'Connor
Gospel singer Chrisette Michele ... said her family had "disowned" her over the decision to perform and revealed that she never even met Trump in person.
Speaking recently on The Breakfast Club, Michele .. said: "I regret everything that happened. I think that was a bad choice."
"A lot of times when you have a message of hope, a lot of times when you have a message of healing, you think - know know, maybe it's a self-righteous thing, maybe it's a mistake to feel that way - but you think: 'Man, if I just tell people everything is gonna be OK, they'll hear me.'
"Because I've been doing that for years, so I just thought the amount of times I've done it - when I sing my own music, right, and then I sing a gospel song at my concerts, those are usually the songs that get the most response. So I just thought that bringing that to that moment where everybody was hurting, including myself, would be helpful. And I was wrong and I offended a lot of people" ...
