Actress and activist Sara Foster publicly addressed the ongoing situation in Venezuela, calling on critics to focus on the country’s humanitarian crisis rather than framing recent developments solely through a political lens.

In a detailed statement, Foster said she has spent more than a decade directly assisting Venezuelan families by helping provide food, medicine, and other basic necessities.

She emphasized that her involvement long predates the current political moment and is rooted in personal relationships with families living under extreme conditions.

“I did not vote for Trump, not that I was excited to vote for Kamala, but I did,” Foster said.

“But what I have done is facilitate food, medicine, basic essentials for children in Venezuela.”

Foster said her work in Venezuela spans more than ten years and includes sustained contact with families facing severe deprivation.

“For over 10 years, I have developed close relationships with families there, with mothers there who have watched their children die because you cannot imagine the conditions in Venezuela,” she said.

“You cannot imagine parents unable to get the basic essentials for their children.”

She described speaking directly with mothers who experienced the loss of their children inside their own homes, stressing that the reality on the ground is often misunderstood by outsiders.

“I spoke to families, to mothers who watch their children die on the floors of their home,” Foster said.

“You cannot imagine.”

Foster noted that she has been publicly posting and speaking about Venezuela and Nicolás Maduro for more than a decade, long before the current attention on the country.

“I’ve been posting about Maduro and the state of Venezuela for a very long time, over 10 years,” she said.

Addressing critics directly, Foster urged people to understand the humanitarian situation before assigning political motives or criticizing reactions to recent events.

“So before you sit and criticize and I can’t pretend to know how this will impact America, I’m honestly just so focused on the relief I feel for the people of Venezuela,” she said.

She pushed back against framing the situation as a partisan issue tied to U.S. politics.

“So before you want to politicize this and make this a Trump thing, look into the conditions and the quality of life for how people have been surviving and living in Venezuela,” Foster said.

Foster described the current moment in Venezuela as a turning point for ordinary citizens, rejecting the idea that the country is under occupation.

“Venezuela is not occupied today,” she said.

“Venezuela is liberated today.”

She encouraged critics to research the situation independently.

“Truly learn about it,” Foster said.

“Read about it again.”

Foster also acknowledged that geopolitical motivations, including oil interests, may play a role in the broader situation, but said that does not negate the immediate impact on Venezuelans.

“I am not saying that this isn’t for the oil all that okay, maybe it is,” she said.

“Maybe it’s truly sinister, but for the people of Venezuela today, this is a good thing. This is a good thing.”
