Grimes Stands by Daughter Vivian Amid Controversial Musk Remarks

In a recent turn of events, Grimes, the renowned singer and ex-partner of Elon Musk, has come out in support of her daughter, Vivian, following controversial remarks made by Musk regarding Vivian’s transgender identity. On July 25, Grimes took to social media, expressing her love and pride for her daughter: ‘I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.’

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, made headlines after claiming in an interview that he was ‘tricked into’ allowing Vivian to undergo gender-affirming treatment. He described this experience as one where he felt ‘confused’ during the COVID era, stating he was under pressure as he was told Vivian ‘might commit suicide’ if she did not receive the treatment.

In her response, 20-year-old Vivian emphasized her independence and adulthood, stating, ‘I am 20 years old. I am not a child.’ She clarified her right to make her own decisions regarding her identity and health, and she was not going to allow her father’s comments go unchallenged.

Vivian also reflected on her strained relationship with her father, expressing that he was often ‘quick to anger’ and primarily absent during her childhood. She described instances where he harshly criticized her, which contributed to their estrangement, a rift that had begun long before she came out as transgender at age 16.

While Vivian’s relationship with her father is rocky, she expressed gratitude for the support she received from her mother, Justine Wilson. Vivian underscored the bond she shares with her mother, stating, ‘She’s very supportive. I love her a lot.’

As the situation continues to unfold, Grimes has made it clear that she stands firmly with Vivian during this challenging time. The artist’s public support contrasts sharply with Musk’s recent comments, and the family dynamics are closely watched by the public.
