Personal opinion: When you as a celebrity stand up and endorse a candidate, i don't care which side or which country, you put yourself out there to be questioned on it and criticized by those that don't agree. That's the downside of standing on a stage or platform rather than talking amongst your friends at home. When you stand up publicly, you are deemed to be using your public standing and popularity to put weight behind that candidate, so in my book, you don't get to say it's just my opinion or you can't criticize me, or jump off the deep end when your morals are called into question. When you stand up like that you are deemed to be endorsing that candidate in all they stand for, my interpretation of electing a leader maybe wrong but i always assumed that you don't get to pick and choose which parts of the candidates beliefs, morals and ambitions make it into the big house (whichever country)
