Fox élimine la star de Masked Singer, John Schneider, à cause du tweet controversé de Biden

L’acteur et chanteur de “The Dukes of Hazzard” avait supprimé son message, mais pas avant qu’il soit capturé par le rédacteur en chef de la côte ouest de Vautour. Dans son message, Schneider avait répondu à un tweet de Biden à propos de l’ancien président Donald Trump, en disant : « M. Président, je crois que vous êtes coupable de trahison et que vous devriez être pendu en public [sic). Your son too. Your response is…? Sincerely, John Schneider.”

This came after Schneider had a heartfelt farewell from ‘The Masked Singer,’ where he was revealed as Donut and received accolades from the judges for his performance in the season 10 finale on Wednesday.

‘I’m also a very emotional guy’

Schneider, who was a teen idol in the 1980s, became emotional as he shared that he had lost his wife, Alicia, to cancer a year ago. He told People magazine in one of his few post-show interviews, “Really, doing The Masked Singer empowered me. … I’m a pretty strong guy, but I’m also a very emotional guy. Being out there on that stage dressed like a donut, singing some of the greatest songs ever written and having people respond to the songs and the performance with no notion that it was me, really, really helped John Schneider.”

Schneider is best known for playing Bo Duke on the original Dukes of Hazzard series from 1979-85, which featured the Confederate flag on the car used in the show. The car was also called Robert E Lee, after the Confederate leader who owned slaves that he got from his mother.

The county singer has also appeared in Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots, Smallville, Felicity, the film Smokey and the Bandit and Dancing With The Stars.
