Ricky Schroder recently reappeared in the public eye but on a controversial note due to his ideas and beliefs. Years ago, he came under fire for protesting against the COVID-19 vaccine, and has even condemned Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ community due to his conservative stance.
Ricky’s rise to stardom began when he was nine, as he won his first Golden Globe right off the bat through his debut movie, The Champs. From a lowly background, Ricky was soon a regular on TV screens, appearing in more productions like the ‘80s Silver Spoons series, Scrubs, and NYPD Blue.
Schroder, who transitioned to adult roles with notable appearances in “NYPD Blue” and “Scrubs,” and also explored directing and producing, has had a successful professional journey.
Ricky promised to be in Washington D.C. next January regardless of how the upcoming presidential elections go, noting that he would either be present for Trump’s inauguration or to protest current president Joe Biden’s second term. Many fans disagreed with Ricky, calling him insensitive and tone-deaf, while another subset cheered his opinions.
YEARS OF STRUGGLE
His tumultuous personal experiences include a high-profile separation from his wife, Andrea Bernard, and several incidents of domestic abuse.
These personal struggles, combined with his withdrawal from the Hollywood scene to a quieter life on his farm, have marked a significant shift for Schroder.
Amid the opposite sides of the debate, some of Ricky’s social media followers called out his unkempt appearance, questioning if he was okay. Interestingly, some came to his defense, saying “rough looks good on him” and that “he’s allowed to look rough after all he’s been through.” “God bless you for sharing your thoughts about what’s going on,” another quipped.
