Cox, a biological male, claimed hosting contracts have dried up, corporate engagements aren\u2019t booking and existing deals were not renewed during a recent interview with The Guardian. The Education Department has targeted so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in U.S. universities since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Squarely putting the blame on Trump\u2019s administration, Cox told the publication, \u201cThis regime has threatened to defund any colleges and universities that promote gender ideology, DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion].\u201d<\/p>\n

Cox went on to say he can no longer secure teaching work.<\/p>\n

\u201c[E]ven though I\u2019d be teaching a graduate acting class, it could be perceived as promoting trans ideology,\u201d he told The Guardian.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The actor went on to say, \u201cThese are the realities. I\u2019m not complaining \u2013 I\u2019m very blessed. I think the important thing to note is that if Laverne Cox\u2019s income has gone down significantly, what about all the other trans people who are not as privileged and as blessed as I am?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cox pointed a finger at the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Project 2025 and complained that, \u201cAll these words had to be taken out of every piece of legislation, policy, government document: gender, gender ideology, gender identity, LGBTQ, DEI, abortion, contraception.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Project 2025 called for the abolition of DEI offices and removal of staff from such posts, a report from the think tank.<\/p>\n

Despite blaming Trump\u2019s opposition to DEI for major financial losses, Cox walked away from his position as host of E!\u2019s \u201cLive From the Red Carpet\u201d in January 2025 after a three-year reign.<\/p>\n
