Addison Rae previously responded to rumors about being registered as a Republican voter. However, in a Nelk video titled "Donald Trump Is Smashing Addison Rae!", the social media star is seen approaching former president Donald Trump at the UFC 264 event on 10 July.

In the video, Addison Rae gets out of her seat in the middle of a UFC fight to introduce herself to Trump.

"Hi, I'm Addison. It's nice to meet you. I have to say hi, hello. Nice to meet you."

The camera then turns to the other proclaimed 'Nelk boys' who all commented on the interaction. One of the members commented that "Addison Rae [is] exposed."

Speculation of Addison Rae's voting record

This is not the first time Addison Rae's voting record has come into question. In September 2020, TikTok user tommy.memetastic shared screenshots of Rae's alleged voting record, which appeared to show her Republican alignment since 2014.

Addison Rae was quick to deny the rumors, explaining that she "[was] not registered and never has been registered". Rae then refuted having been registered in California as she is from Louisiana.

Addison also went on Twitter soon after the interaction on Tiktok, stating that people should "stop spending time bringing others down."
