"I’m so disappointed in America…. Some of you just couldn’t selfishly put your pride aside huh??!?!?" Reese wrote.
"As a woman, I’m heartbroken for us all…"
In the end, Reese added she was going to pray and "think positive" moving forward.

"We are truly so broken as a country for this to be our reality," Cloud wrote on X during the night.

Racism, misogyny, and hatred of women are so deeply rooted into everything that is America. Until we fix the roots… it will never grow."
