WASHINGTON, DC: Gwen Stefani has recently come under fire from a section of her Democrat fandom for allegedly having a "MAGA makeover." While the singer's political affiliation is not yet proven, several friends and fans fear she has now turned Republican.

It should be noted that in 2018, speculation arose regarding Stefani being the person who had an instrumental hand in Donald Trump’s presidency, or at least Michael Moore thinks so.

The 'Fahrenheit 11/9' director stated that while several people claimed to have played the catalyst in inspiring the business tycoon-turned-politician to run for the presidential election, it was, in reality, a salary disparity with the 55-year-old songstress that inspired the MAGA spearhead to run for the White House.

Per Page Six, in 2018, Michael Moore alleged that when Donald Trump realized he was drawing less salary than Gwen Stefani, who had just started as a coach on 'The Voice', he decided to run for office.

The director revealed that as a negotiation technique, the now-president staged his famous June 2015 Trump Tower announcement to prove to NBC his popularity and renegotiate his contract.

"Trump found out that NBC was paying Gwen Stefani more on ‘The Voice’ than Trump got paid for ‘The Apprentice.’ So he planned a fake announcement to run for president . . . in order to prove to NBC he was more popular than Gwen and [they] would give him more money," shared Moore.

The ‘Roger & Me’ star further shared with The Hollywood Reporter in the same year, "He’d been talking about running for president since 1988, but he didn’t really want to be president. There’s no penthouse in the White House. He was trying to pit NBC against another network, but it just went off the rails," as reported by The Cut.

Gwen Stefani has reportedly undergone a 'MAGA makeover'

Gwen Stefani’s political allegiance has once again come under the scanner as her fans and friends fear that she has undergone a "MAGA makeover," per Daily Mail.

She recently raised eyebrows after she reposted conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson's interview with Jonathan Roumie - a devout Catholic and the star of the Christian TV series, 'The Chosen'. 

She gushed over Roumie, writing, "Wow @JonathanRoumie you are a powerful, inspirational human."

The move shocked her fans given her previous support for the Democratic Party. Many have attributed her change to her husband, Blake Shelton

Though she has previously participated in former President Barack Obama's fundraiser, and performed in both his and former President Joe Biden’s political events, a source recently shared with Daily Mail, "After massively supporting Democrats for years – she appears to have gone MAGA. Some of this can be attributed to her marriage, as Blake is an infamous Republican. She shut out everyone for him."

They continued, "She doesn’t seem to care about her fans anymore and has shed her persona to become the unrecognizable opposite of what she once was."

"The Tucker Carson situation is not anything new, though. This is who she has become. Gwen is not even trying to hide who she has become and this person is unrecognizable to her fans, friends, and even her label," further noted the mole.
