Tamera Mowry-Housley deleted her Threads account after users accused her of being aligned with MAGA.
According to Black Enterprise, Mowry-Housley joined Threads on Monday (April 13) with her first post, reading, “I’m new here.”
However, instead of a warm welcome, the former Sister, Sister star received several comments calling out her alleged alignment with President Donald Trump's policies.
“Rules: You will not be treated like a celebrity here. What is your stance on January 6?” one user commented.
“Go ahead and head out. On this app they either love on you or don’t. And when they don’t, it’s ruthless. Over here, they like Tamera Campbell and Tamera Mowry, but they don’t eff with Tamera Mowry-Housley,” another wrote.
Mowry-Housley appeared to delete her Threads account shortly after.
The former Disney actress has faced criticism for her supposed alignment with MAGA, largely due to rumors about her husband, Adam Housley's, views.
Housley was a reporter with Fox News for nearly 20 years before leaving the role in 2018. In February 2025, he came under fire after sharing his views on proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the food stamp program, made under the leadership of then-newly appointed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins.
The proposed regulations would have banned Americans from using food stamps to buy “sugary drinks” and other processed foods and beverages. Housely took to X on February 18, 2025, to express his take on the proposal:
“As a kid who grew up in neighborhood grocery stores since I was 5, I can’t tell you how many times I saw people come in and buy crap food for their kids with food stamps, then open the wallet and use cash for liquor, beer, wine and cigarettes,” he wrote. “As a kid it pissed me off because there are some people who could really use the help and then there are these others working the system.”
Several comments under the post criticized Housley for his stance.
“So you just hung out in the corners of stores and observed grown a** people collecting change over time to buy cigarettes and alcohol…at 5yrs old,” one user wrote.
“The streets are saying you’re from wine country, yet you’re speaking on ‘neighborhood grocery stores’ as if this was a corner store in south central la or something… your ‘experience’ isn’t adding up,” another posted.
The backlash fueled questions about Mowry-Housley’s political views, with some tying her to her husband’s public statements. However, Housley addressed those claims in a 2018 X post, writing that neither he nor Mowry-Housley supported Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.
“This is just for clarification, so if you see any stupid people spewing lies…per usual…have them refer to this tweet. @TameraMowryTwo and I did not support [Donald] Trump or Hillary [Clinton], and nowhere has there ever been anything said to prove such,” Housley tweeted during Trump’s first term to put an end to rumors about his or Mowry-Housley's supposed loyalty to Trump.
However, following the controversy, the actress revived her Threads account with a new post shared on Wednesday (April 15), reading, "Hello to all 1.1 million here." The account currently has 1.2 million followers, with replies to the actress's posts praising her resilience and ability to bounce back despite the hate.
"I am absolutely loving how you are showing us how to elegantly deal with haters. Keep shining Tamera. We all do not have to agree, but bullying and harassment is not tolerated," one user wrote.
"I have always thought you were dope. The way you handled the last few days confirmed for me forever who you are," another said.
