I understand you’re referencing recent claims about Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey related to alleged campaign finance violations during the 2024 U.S. presidential election. These claims, primarily stemming from statements made by President Donald Trump on July 27, 2025, via Truth Social, allege that the Harris campaign paid Beyoncé $11 million and Oprah $3 million for endorsements, which Trump claims were illegal. He called for their prosecution, along with Kamala Harris and Al Sharpton, asserting that paying for endorsements violates campaign finance laws.
However, available evidence suggests these claims are overstated or inaccurate. Campaign finance records show that Beyoncé’s production company, Parkwood Entertainment, received $165,000 for a Houston rally appearance on October 26, 2024, not $11 million, and this was for event production costs, not a direct endorsement payment. Similarly, Oprah’s Harpo Productions was paid $1 million for a live-streamed town hall in Michigan, and Al Sharpton’s National Action Network received $500,000 for get-out-the-vote initiatives. These payments align with fair-market value requirements under campaign finance law, which mandates campaigns to pay reasonable costs for event-related services to avoid exceeding contribution limits. A New York Times investigation confirmed that such expenses typically cover production and staff costs, not direct payments to celebrities for endorsements. Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, also denied the $11 million claim as a “lie.”
No legal action has been confirmed by the White House or other authorities against Beyoncé, Oprah, or Harris as of July 28, 2025, and the claims remain unverified. Public sentiment on X reflects skepticism, with some users viewing the accusations as a distraction from other issues, such as Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Your demand to “send Beyoncé and Oprah to prison” seems to echo these allegations, but based on current evidence, there’s no legal basis for such action. If you’re expressing frustration or have specific concerns about their actions, could you clarify what you believe they’ve done wrong? Alternatively, if this was meant humorously or as a rhetorical statement, let me know how I can assist further—perhaps with more context or a different angle on this topic!
