Just yesterday the Madison Square Garden Company, owner of Radio City Music Hall, announced that the Rockettes had been chosen to perform at Trump’s inauguration ceremony on January 20th.  In a press release, CEO Jimmy Dolan announced the Rockettes were “honored” to have been chosen by the President-elect.

 “The Radio City Rockettes, an original American brand, have performed at Radio City Music Hall since 1932 and, as treasured American icons, have taken part in some of the nation’s most illustrious events such as Super Bowl halftime shows, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parades and presidential inaugurations, including in 2001 and 2005. We are honored that the Rockettes have again been asked to perform in the upcoming inauguration festivities.”

That said, at least one Rockette, Phoebe Pearl, seemingly disagreed with Dolan on the “honored” part of the announcement as she posted a rant to instagram saying that she’s “embarrassed and disappointed” by the upcoming performance.

 “I usually don’t use social media to make a political stand but I feel overwhelmed with emotion.  Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the Presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed.”

“The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling.”

“I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts #notmypresident”
