“Thank you for standing by us!”: Fans react to Louise and Kéllé pulling out of Eternal reunion
Louise Redknapp and Kéllé Bryan have pulled out of Eternal’s reunion tour due to an alleged difference in views on transgender rights.
In a statement to the BBC, Redknapp’s publicist confirmed the speculation and noted “Louise is a huge supporter and ally of the LGBTQ+ community and both herself and Kéllé told the duo they would not work with anyone who held these views, and as such the reunion as a four would not be going ahead.” In light of the announcement Louise took to Twitter, writing “Always & Forever” under an image of a trans-inclusive Pride flag.
One fan commented: “A true ally! We love you both.” Bryan, in response to the announcement, posted a statement that further bolstered support noting: “My stance and allegiances have always been that I am an advocate for the inclusion and equality for all.” One fan wrote that Louise is “being really courageous” with her support of trans people: “She knows that the LGBT+ community, and transgender people in particular, are being exposed to levels of bigotry and persecution not seen for years, and, as a gay guy, I’m extremely thankful for her support.” In response to this another user highlighted: “Good for her.
I’m a cis-het ally, and we need more of us to speak up in support of people who are under constant attack.” “Louise has chosen to get uncomfortable.
