Fashion model Elizabeth Pipk comes out as a huge Trump supporter – even if it means LOSING her career!
23-year-old model Elizabeth Pipko is finally speaking out about being a Donald Trump supporter who worked full-time on his 2016 presidential campaign, a secret she kept from her industry colleagues, out of fear it could derail her career. Pipko went to great lengths to hide her political affiliation from the liberal-leaning fashion world, but is now coming clean about supporting the 45th President of the United States.
Here’s something a little different.
A fashion model has decided that her politics are more important than her modeling career and is letting everyone know now she’s been a huge Trump supporter from the beginning:
FOX NEWS – Elizabeth Pipko, a 23-year-old model who has appeared in Maxim, has kept a secret from her industry colleagues out of fear it could derail her career: She was a Donald Trump supporter and worked full-time on his 2016 presidential campaign.Here, the Midtown West resident tells DANA SCHUSTER the lengths she went to hide her political affiliation from the liberal-leaning fashion world — and why she’s finally coming clean about loving Trump.I decided to volunteer for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in the spring of 2016. I never leaned liberal or conservative, but there was something about Trump — the way he spoke and his honesty — that had me convinced he was our next president. I worked in a call center in Trump Tower. Within eight weeks, I was hired as a national volunteer services coordinator for the data team and paid $4,000 a month.It was clear from the start that, if I wanted to survive in modeling, I couldn’t tell anyone about my new job.
“Evil people”
Once, after working a 10-hour-day on the Trump campaign, I went to meet with my manager (who was not affiliated with a modeling agency). He and a colleague were enraged, screaming about how much they hate Trump. My manager kept saying how evil the people who work for him must be and that he would never work with anyone who supported him.I was terrified they would find out that I was one of the so-called evil people.So I lied and told people I was coaching ice skating — I was a competitive figure skater for seven years — whenever I was really hard at work in Trump Tower. When I ran into a modeling friend on my way there one day, I immediately hid my badge and said I was running errands.But at every modeling job or meeting, the talk inevitably turned to Trump, and it was always high-stress.At one shoot, the photographer came in wearing a black T-shirt with a gigantic red slash over Trump’s face. I was so unnerved, I could barely concentrate on the job at hand.Another time, in July 2016, Trump had said something controversial and it was all over the news. I was at Miami Swim Week for fashion shows, and the 15 other models were bashing him. I just sat in the corner and pretended to be on my phone. I didn’t want to be ostracized.
Done hiding..
But now that it’s been two years since the election, I don’t want to keep silent any longer. Even if that means saying goodbye to modeling forever.
I think her bravery is probably helped by the fact that she’s just gotten married. But still, for her to admit something like this is quite brave, considering how hated she’ll be in the modeling industry now.
It’s bad enough to admit you are Republican or conservative. With the seething hatred for Trump on the left, it’s much worse to admit you helped Trump get elected and still support him 100%.
Yeah, her modeling days are over. No doubt about it.
And how sad is that…
