Laverne Cox revealed she previously dated a young, Trump-supporting New York City police officer for several years. Despite the relationship ending last year, Cox faced backlash after teasing her one-woman show about the romance. Critics suggested her relationship was a betrayal to the trans community. In a detailed Instagram Live, Cox clarified that she was unaware of his political views when they met and emphasized the importance of having conversations across differences with love and empathy.
"I was in love. He has a beautiful soul and has really beautiful qualities. As I found out his job and his politics..."
"For years, I've always tried to encourage people to have conversations with people with difference, with love and empathy."
