The recent decision of the highest court has sent shockwaves through the nation. At a time when there is a shortage of baby formula, there is growing concern that many women may have to carry pregnancies to term against their wishes or if it poses a risk to themselves or their unborn child. While this issue has garnered various opinions, it appears that actress Kimberly Elise has expressed her support for the decision and celebrated it on social media.
Kimberly Elise made her debut in 1996’s “Set It Off,” a cult classic that paved the way for many iconic roles in her career, including appearances in Tyler Perry’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman,” “John Q,” “The Great Debaters,” and “The Manchurian Candidate.” Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to a schoolteacher mother and an executive father, Elise was married to Maurice Oldham for several years. They split in 2005 and have two daughters together. Tragically, Oldham passed away shortly after their separation. In 2019, Kimberly Elise publicly announced her commitment to her faith, stating that she had turned her life over to Jesus and had no intention of looking back, possibly influencing her recent viral post.
On her Instagram post, Kimberly shared an image of a sleeping baby with the text from Psalm 139:13-14, which reads, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you.” In the caption, Elise claimed that “millions of babies will be saved,” following it with “Hallelujah! #allglorybetoGod.” Notably, the actress disabled comments on the post, preventing responses from viewers.
Many fans were initially perplexed and suspected that the actress’s Instagram account might have been hacked. However, a review of Kimberly Elise’s Instagram account reveals that, apart from a few selfies, she regularly shares religious memes and quotes. Elise is a devout Christian who was baptized at the age of 16. In 2021, she celebrated her birthday by undergoing baptism once again, rededicating her life to Christ. The actress also hosts a podcast titled “Grace, Truth, and Love – with Kimberly Elise,” which is designed for Christian women and provides encouragement and edification with a Jesus Christ-centered and Biblical worldview.
Kimberly shares two daughters with her late husband, Maurice Oldham, namely Butterfly Rose Oldham and AjaBleu Oldham. Butterfly studied at Humboldt State University and co-authored a book with her mother in 2016 titled “Curly Halo,” which focused on managing, protecting, and growing hair. AjaBleu works as a marketing manager at Bernstien Financial Services Inc. She attended The University of Paris in France and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Psychology in 2010, subsequently pursuing studies in writing and psychology at The New School in Manhattan.
With her Instagram comments disabled, fans turned to Twitter to express their reactions to Kimberly’s post. Many criticized the actress for her role in “For Colored Girls,” a film with a significant subplot about illegal abortions. Some pointed out the irony, with one person saying, “Kimberly Elise was literally in ‘For Colored Girls’… need I remind her of the abortion plot point???” Others made light of her film characters, often portraying abused women, with one remarking, “They’re tearing Kimberly Elise up in her comments Lmfao… somebody said ‘I see why Charles was dragging [you].'”
Another Twitter user emphasized that Kimberly’s post extends beyond merely sharing her opinion. They said, “Folks are saying Kimberly Elise can have an opinion. Your opinion should only govern you. Celebrating policy that revokes the rights of millions is not an opinion; it’s bad politics. No one cares about your opinion. It’s your politics that’s a problem.” Many fans have threatened to cancel the actress, but some believe she may not be prominent enough to warrant such action. The question of whether Kimberly Elise’s career will suffer from this statement remains to be seen.
