Jamie Lee Curtis Gets Emotional, Compares Trump to Princess Diana

(NewsNation) — In a recent emotional segment on the British morning show This Morning, Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis reflected on the legacy of Princess Diana, tearfully drawing comparisons to former President Donald Trump, whom she described as having ‘vile’ behavior.

While discussing a letter she had once written to Princess Diana prior to her tragic passing in a car accident in 1997, Curtis expressed her admiration for Diana’s extraordinary leadership and compassion. She recalled her attempts to meet with Diana, Prince William, and Prince Harry during their visit to the set of “Fierce Creatures” and the heartfelt response she received back from Diana.

‘Two days later, I got a letter back from her,’ Curtis remembered, visibly emotional about the connection they shared despite the distance. ‘Diana understood why we couldn’t meet,’ she shared.

Jamie Lee Curtis Condemns Donald Trump’s Behavior

Unapologetic and outspoken, Curtis didn’t hold back in critiquing Trump for his disrespectful remarks towards Bloomberg correspondent Catherine Lucey. She pointed to his offensive comments about Lucey when he faced questions concerning Jeffrey Epstein, reflecting on his treatment of her as a wake-up call to unacceptable behavior.

‘Actions like using derogatory terms and wagging fingers at women, calling someone ‘piggy’, that’s where we draw the line,’ Curtis stated passionately. She asserted that Trump’s actions, which she described as ‘abuse and vile behavior’, are critical moments that may ultimately lead to his downfall.
