Terri Nunn From Berlin Apologises For Performing
American singer and actress Terri Nunn has left fans disappointed although unintentionally so. The singer is best known for her vocals in the new wave/synthpop band Berlin has made a public apology.
After performing at New Year’s Eve party at Donald Trump’s resort, Mar-a-Lago in Florida, fans have lashed out at Terri and how! The singer issued an apology for the same, stating that she committed a mistake and wasn’t aware that resort wasn’t following the Covid-19 protocols.
Faux Pas Or Political Agenda?
The ‘The Metro’ singer took to Facebook to explain the aforementioned and to clarify that her performance was in no way to support the Republican party. “I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago and would not have done so if I’d known what I learned while I was there. My goal in performing was not to support a political party. I see now that that’s not the way it appeared and I am apologetic for that as well.”
Apart from Nunn, Vanilla Ice, Taylor Dayne and the tour edition of Beach Boys also performed at the same party. The ‘Sex’ singer expressed strong disapproval towards the way Florida was handling the pandemic.
The Contract!
She explained that the contract stated otherwise. “The contract stated it was a small Covid-safe event for the members of Mar-a-Lago. Unfortunately, it was not Covid-safe anywhere in Florida. I had no idea masks and social distancing was not required…thought I was current on all Covid news everywhere, but clearly, I was not. I was shocked by Florida and Mar-a-Lago’s lack of regard for the pandemic and if I’d known I would never have gone. Once I fulfilled my contractual obligation, I left the event as quickly as I could. It is a mistake I regret.” Nunn explained.
The singer took all the necessary steps and got herself tested for the coronavirus. After the tests came back negative, she revealed the reports to her fans with a concluding message. The message was particularly for her LGBTQ+ fans. They clearly felt betrayed considering that Nunn is a frequent performer at Pride events.
“My apologies to those in the LGBTQ community who thought my performance was a statement against them. I have been and always will be fully supportive.”, Nunn wrote.
