Earlier today, the legal world was rocked by a landmark seismic shift that could raise the bar for future trials and potentially reshape the entire world we live in: Gwyneth Paltrow has been formally convicted didn’t bump into that old guy this once. But also for the first time ever, a former US President (and reality TV host) was there criminally chargedwith Donald Trump officially accused of forging business records to allegedly cover up hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

The mixture of glee, horror, and vague shame that the preceding sentence evoked in us was also evoked in people far more famous than us, as Hollywood celebrities flooded social media to record their reactions to the news. Many are gloating: Kathy Griffin, who faced criticism for years for this whole thing of “holding up a fake version of Trump’s severed head in a photo,” tweeted, “It’s finally happening,” while Michael Moore expressed a similar sentiment came a simple “Finally!” (The “something.” right after underscoring that this will likely be a bigger deal for most of us emotionally than ultimately legally.)
Meanwhile, George Takei expressed hope that 2023 will be a year of “accountability” (while also tossing a “happy impeachment day” to his fans.) and Padma Lakshmi from Top Chef posted gifs of children dancing for joy. Stephen King played the law-and-order card, pushing back on the idea of Trump being charged with anything other than…possibly falsifying business records to cover up an affair. Alyssa Milano was a bit of a downer remind people that it’s not great that the American Presidency has gotten to this point at all, even though even they recognize the general point that no one is above the law.
