Dennis Quaid Responds to Criticism About His COVID PSA: “I was not paid one penny for doing this interview”

Share

Actor Dennis Quaid is not going to be cancelled by The Cancel Culture. An angry Quaid has posted a video to Instagram defending his PSA interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci about the importance of wearing masks and how the pandemic is going.

Yesterday a rumor grew out of control that Quaid had been paid a lot of money to help Donald Trump communicate his own success in the handling of the virus. Quaid says that it wasn’t a political PSA, and that he took no money for it. But this is how rumors mushroom. I’m glad that Dennis set us all straight!

The conversation between him and Fauci is on his podcast, called “The Dennis-ance.
