Meet the Controversial Singer Who Wore an Anti-Abortion Dress to the Grammys

28/01/2018 - 11:46 PM

The 2018 Grammys [1] continued the recent wave of Hollywood stars using their designer gowns [2] to show support for the Time's Up initiative [3] against sexual harassment. Singer Joy Villa went in a slightly different direction, wearing a white dress with a fetus painted on the side [4] and carrying a "Choose Life" purse, making a statement about her pro-life political views.

The 31-year-old hails from Orange, California and has been in the headlines for her controversial antics before. Just last year she hit the Grammys red carpet in a "Make America Great Again" dress [5] weeks after President Trump's inauguration. Her 2015 and 2016 Grammy looks were also dubbed "unusual [6]" and "outrageous [7]."

Besides her fashion choices, Joy Villa, who has recorded songs like "Cold Wind [8]" and "Make America Great Again [9]," has raised many eyebrows as a staunch supporter of Trump. In December, she accused Trump's former campaign chairman, Corey Lewandowski, of sexually assaulting her [10]. Earlier that month, she made an appearance on Fox & Friends and spoke about her intentions to run for Congress in Florida [11]. It is yet to be determined how her political career will play out, but stranger things [12] have happened.
