After the singer’s death at the age of 80 was announced, Schroder took to Instagram to share a photo of him with Parton. However, the 56-year-old actor couldn’t put aside his anti-trans or anti-vax views in his tribute.
I didnt agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support…but Loved her anyway. Thank you for choosing me Dolly to be your Movie Daddy.
Schroder got a lot of heat for the post, especially from a few celebrities on Threads.
Boy George suggested Schroder “shut up,” while Katie Couric just went “ick.”
Members of the rock band Garbage felt the best response was a simple “f-bomb.”
JS reached out to Schroder for comment, but no one immediately responded.
