The cap’s design was an undeniable nod to Donald Trump’s iconic “Make America Great Again” slogan, mimicking his signature red hat campaign look. The post came shortly after the Republican nominee's victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential race.

Fans were quick to question her decision to publicly engage with Brand, who is a fan of Trump.

“In recognition of the passing of Nicole Scherzinger’s Tony chances, the St. James Theatre has announced they will be dimming their lights on Nov. 7," a second person added. “I would really like to know what part of Trump’s platform Nicole Scherzinger supports… because I’m pretty sure it’s not his stance on capital gains or military spending."

“Finding out Nicole Scherzinger is a Trumper today doesn’t upset me as I don’t really care about her. But oddly, just like that, I no longer have any desire to see Sunset Boulevard,” a third person wrote, while a fourth said, "How to lose a Tony in under 30 characters."

However, others implied that her comment was misinterpreted.

“I really don’t be giving people the benefit of the doubt BUT — I don’t think this is Nicole Scherzinger coming out as a Trump supporter — I think she is just an annoying Christian,” one person posted.

The starlet has since deleted her comment.

As OK! previously reported, the comedian has been under intense scrutiny since last September following an investigation by The Sunday Times and Channel 4 in which he was accused of “rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse.”

Just two months later, Brand — who was recently baptized as Christian in the River Thames — was hit with a lawsuit over another alleged assault.

For his part, Brand denied the accusations. “I’m aware that I put myself in an extremely vulnerable position by being very, very promiscuous, [but] that is not the type of conduct I endorse and it’s certainly not how I would live now," he stated.
