Jamie Lee Curtis Condemns Trump in Tearful ITV Interview, Citing Diana

She invoked a 1997 near-encounter with Princess Diana to frame a critique tied to a contested Air Force One 'piggy' exchange.

Overview

  • Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Jamie Lee Curtis grew emotional as she called President Donald Trump "vile" and said a recent "unhinged" moment would be his undoing.
  • Curtis recounted missing a meeting with Princess Diana on the 1997 Fierce Creatures set and receiving a reply letter within two days, highlighting Diana's grace and kindness.
  • Her remarks referenced reports that on November 13 aboard Air Force One Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey "Quiet, piggy!", a claim some dispute as "Peggy" and which the White House defended.
