Famous Singer Taunted After Celebrating Her Faith In God: ‘She’s Gone To The Dark Side’
Gwen Stefani, who rose to international fame as the lead singer of the band No Doubt, has gone on to become a pop culture icon in her own right with a solo career and stint as reality TV star.
But most recently, she’s been making headlines for a more personal reason: her Catholic faith.
Stefani is among several celebrities who has teamed up with the Hallow app, as she revealed in a social media message ringing in the Easter holiday season.
As Fox News reported, her statement of faith received an enthusiastic response from a number of fellow believers — but plenty of others took the time to announce how upset they were to hear that she believes in God:
“I love seeing you join in prayer!” Candace Cameron Bure wrote.
“Started the app challenge today,” WWE star Brie Bella commented.
Carson Daly responded to Stefani’s post by leaving a series of prayer hands and red heart emojis.
“She’s a believer!!!! I love her even more now,” one fan wrote.
“I love this! Gwen!!!!!” another chimed in.
“GOD Bless you. Amen,” one social media user added.
However, Stefani’s post also appeared to antagonize, dismay and confuse some of her fans, who left critical comments on her post.
“I miss the old Gwen,” one social media user wrote.
“Gwen is gone. What a massive disappointment,” wrote one commenter, with another fan chiming in, “This is truly not the Gwen we all grew up loving,”
“I fear we’ve lost her,” one social media user wrote with a teary face emoji. “She’s gone to the dark side.”
The comments were largely supportive in response to Fox News’ post promoting the article:

No it’s just reactions from her liberal fans that don’t believe in anything except bitch and complain about everything

But others were skeptical about the authenticity of her profession:
It’s so funny seeing these celebrities suddenly talking about and praising the Lord when if the election went the other way they’d be telling us how ridiculous we are for being religious.

Several other celebrities have partnered with Hallow in recent months, including actor Chris Pratt.
As Movieguide reported:
Along with Pratt, Wahlberg and Roumie, Fr. Mike Schmitz, Sr. Miriam James, S.O.L.T., and Cardinal Robert Sarah will also be taking part in the challenge.
Roumie will guide users “through powerful reflections and prayers on ‘The Way’ and ‘A Song for Nagasaki’ during the week,” per a Facebook post, while Wahlberg will lead them “in fasting, discipline, and surrender to push us closer to the way Jesus set before us.”
“The Way,” written by St. Josemaría Escrivá, is a guide for meditation and prayer. “A Song for Nagasaki” is the story of atomic bomb survivor Takashi Nagai.
“Mark will be joined on Fridays by one of the most outspoken Christians in Hollywood [Chris Pratt] as we draw inspiration from Scripture to give our hearts fully to Christ,” the post continued.
