First lady Melania Trump is “a bit of a mystery” to actress Salma Hayek.
“I’d love to know how she feels about things, and who she is, and what she’s planning to do,” Hayek told the New York Daily News this weekend.
“The only thing we’ve heard her say is that she was gonna work on a campaign against bullying on social media. I hope she starts with her husband.”
Hayek, who was born in Mexico, spoke out often about President Trump’s stance on immigration during the campaign.
The actress thinks Melania, who’s also an immigrant, could have a “bigger influence on her husband” if she spoke out more.
The first lady spent much of the campaign with her son in New York City, where the two have remained for the first few months of Trump’s administration.
In a rare speech just days before the election, Melania Trump announced that she would focus her efforts on ending cyberbullying if her husband was elected.
She did not reference her husband’s attacks against opponents and critics on social media.
“I really think that taking the more elegant and diplomatic way of dealing with things is better than threats and bullying people,” Hayek said. “It’s not a good example, especially if she wants to take that cause [of online bullying].”
