Rudy Julian’s release on Wednesday on the episode “Masked Singer” angered viewers, with many criticizing the Fox program for hosting a lawyer who spearheaded former President Donald Trump’s attempt to reverse the result. Elections in 2020.
Although the former New York mayor and former Trump personal attorney removed the masks from the contest show on Wednesday night, reports that he was a participant in the program first surfaced in February.
His revelation forced one of the jurors, actor Ken Jeong, to leave the set disgusted.
“I’m done,” he said as he walked away.
Julian spoke at the Trump rally on Jan. 6, 2021, which turned into a riot and temporarily halted the certification of Congressional victory at President Joe Biden’s Electoral College. Julian told viewers that the vote was rigged and called for a “fighting trial”.
Julian was also involved in Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of presidential elections in several states. Trump’s legal team has filed and lost more than 60 cases to do so.
New York State suspended Julian’s legal license after a court decision that he made “seemingly incorrect and misleading statements” during the campaign to change the election results. Possible cancellation is at risk. Julian has also been the subject of numerous defamation cases from voting system companies demanding billions in damages.
Many viewers expressed frustration with their attendance at the show, which many saw as an attempt to rehabilitate her image. Check out some of the reactions below:
Good for Ken Jeong. It’s a pity that Rudy Julian is part of the show with the masked singer. The fact that they normalize the ratings of big lies reflects the real problem we have in this society … no value, just what it sells. It’s a downward spiral.# Singer in mask

I thought there was nothing worse and more embarrassing to Rudy Julian’s shots than the colored sweat stains on his face.
You are wrong. https://t.co/W6I0af5Iz5

It is unacceptable that figures like Rudy Julian allow imaginary rehabilitation of their image through similar mirrors. https://t.co/WgJAIdu2pM

Rudy Giuliani has a real “end of empire” vibe about a masked singer

Imagine becoming the president’s lawyer a year later on the TV show Jackie Box … Embarrassing.

I thought Rudy Julian hit rock bottom when he took the trash in the next Borat movie, or maybe when we were caught shaving at an airport restaurant.
But not. It happened to a masked singer and it wasn’t the last. pic.twitter.com/Q0lv9QBHTz

Not to blame @kenjeong Because after seeing it Rudy Julian was gone. It was a blow to the face. Julian had ties to the administration that fueled the escalation of violence against Asian Americans. He has a right to go crazy. Hell Rudy Julian. # Masked singer

Rudy Julian should not be a masked singer, he should be incarcerated.

Whenever I look at clips from this show, it seems like a super obvious fake show from Black Mirror after the season https://t.co/QzpW2G0MLF
