Alyssa Milano recalls Ivanka Trump's 'total girl crush' on her: 'Sad to see what she has evolved into'

The actress-turned-activist shared a message on social media, recalling her encounter with the president's daughter while expressing her sadness over what she 'has evolved into'

Ivanka Trump once considered Alyssa Milano her 'hero' and had a 'total girl crush' on the Hollywood actress when she guest-judged a reality TV show alongside her in 2015. The actress-turned-activist shared a message on social media, recalling her 2015 encounter with the president's daughter while expressing her sadness over what she "has evolved into." "I met Ivanka Trump when I was hosting 'Project Runway All-Stars', she told me I was her hero," the 'Wisegal' actress wrote on Instagram. "I’m sad to see what she has evolved into."

In conclusion, Milano urged her millions of social media followers to support Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The post also included a screengrab of a fan tweet from Trump in 2014. "I'm admitting to a total girl crush on Alyssa Milano," the president’s daughter shared on October 30, 2014. "She's hilarious! And incidentally, one of the first people I followed on Twitter."

Trump, 38, was likely watching Milano host the reality show 'Project Runway All-Stars' when she made the comment. Milano became a judge on the Lifetime show in 2013 and continued on for the next five seasons.

The president's eldest daughter was a private citizen at the time, years before her real estate mogul father announced his landmark bid for the presidency in 2015.

Milano has been a staunch critic of the Trump administration for the longest time. Earlier this month, we reported how she became embroiled in a Twitter feud with her 'Charmed' co-star Rose McGowan over Democrat policies.

It started with McGowan tweeting: "What have the Democrats done to solve ANYTHING? Help the poor? No. Help black & brown people? No. Stop police brutality? No. Help single mothers? No. Help children? No. You have achieved nothing. NOTHING. Why did people vote Trump? Because of you motherf***ers."

This did not appear to sit well with Milano and she posted a reply with a screenshot of McGowan's tweet. She wrote: "A thread of all the things the Democratic Party has done to make the world a better place. Let’s start here: 1920 19TH AMENDMENT: WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. Under the leadership of Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the right to vote."

She followed it up with a series of tweets about what the party has done. In the end, she wrote: "Please add on to the thread with anything I missed! Also, if you have any personal stories about how policy set forth by the Democratic Party has helped you, please share. Just use the #DemocratsHelpPeople in your tweet!"

But McGowan wasn’t one to back down. She quoted Milano’s thread and wrote: "Ummm... did you conveniently forget only WHITE WOMEN got the right to vote? They betrayed all others. To quote Marilyn Manson, 'I was not born with enough middle fingers'." 

Earlier this year, Milano came under fire for not confronting Biden over sexual assault allegations brought on by a former staffer. However, she opened up about her stance on the situation during an appearance on SiriusXM’s 'Radio Andy' show with Andy Cohen.

"I believe that even though we should believe women, and that is an important thing, and what that statement really means is that for so long the go-to has been to not to believe them," she said. "So, really we have to societally change that mindset to believing women, but that does not mean at the expense of not giving men their due process and investigating situations. It’s got to be fair in both directions."

McGowan, at the time, attacked her statement by tweeting, "You are a fraud. This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME."
