One of those friends is former President Donald Trump, who took to his social media platform Truth Social to share his condolences.

It’s worth noting that Somers had expressed her support for Trump in the past. In 2018, she spoke highly of the former president’s economic policies, claiming she was happy with the state of the economy. With a touch of humor, she jokingly added, “And now my career is over!” It’s refreshing to see a celebrity openly express their conservative values without fear of backlash in an industry that often ostracizes those who don’t conform to the liberal narrative.
Joe diGenova, former U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia, also shared his remembrance of Somers, highlighting their strong friendship that developed over their shared conservative beliefs. He mentioned that even her close friend Barry Manilow distanced himself from her because of her support for Trump. This serves as a reminder of the intolerance and discrimination many conservatives face within the entertainment industry.
Somers was not only known for her acting talent but also for her advocacy on various issues. She wrote numerous books on topics like beauty, aging, weight loss, fitness, and health, all while battling cancer. In 2013, she criticized the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, calling it socialized medicine. She drew from her firsthand experience with Canada’s healthcare system through her Canadian husband’s family. It’s enlightening to see a celebrity who is willing to speak out against policies she believes are detrimental, even if it goes against the liberal Hollywood agenda.
Suzanne Somers will be remembered as a trailblazer, both in her career and her political beliefs. Despite facing adversity and being fired from her hit show Three’s Company when she fought for equal pay, she didn’t let it defeat her. Instead, she built an empire by launching a beauty line, promoting the Thigh Master, and becoming a prolific author. Somers serves as an inspiration to conservatives who refuse to be silenced and are willing to fight for their principles. She will be greatly missed.
