In case you’re unfamiliar, reports surfaced yesterday of the newly-elected POTUS’ plans to stop all visa applications for a month from seven countries in Africa and the Middle East, including Iran.
In response, Miz Alidoosti took to social media to announce her decision to not attend Hollywood’s biggest night:
