At the time, Brown told Deadline, “She didn’t see this coming, quite honestly. I truly believe that my following, my fans, and the people who have loved to hate Sheila all these years are responsible for me coming back.”
However, Kimberlin Brown, a conservative, didn’t always have the support of her fans. In 2016, Brown broke down on stage at a Republic National Convention. At the time, she said she had faced bullying online over her support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
At the time, Kimberlin Brown said, “I was labeled a racist, homophobe. I was told I must be going to KKK meetings. And, anybody who knows me and knows my circle of friends, they simply know that is not true. I have such a diverse group of friends in my life.” she added. “That was devastating to me. It really was. It never dawned on me that speaking my mind would bring out such speech.”
Brown said she almost decided not to speak at the convention due to the online hate. However, her kids reportedly gave her the courage to speak up.
