Sir Rod Stewart’s daughter Ruby has hit back at Americans labelling her a “nepo baby” after she shared criticisms of President Donald Trump following his inauguration.
The 37-year-old lives in the US with her family, and has been vocally opposed to Trump’s second rise to the presidency. In a recent social media rant, she responded to Trump supporters arguing she would be unknown if it weren’t for her famous father.
The model shared a post to her Instagram Story from Giffords_org, which took aim at Trump’s pro-gun laws.
It sarcastically included the headline “Office of Gun Violence Prevention,” with a message underneath reading: “404 Page Not Found” – a dig at the President’s stance on gun control.
The post was captioned: “Donald Trump promised gun company CEOs that he would weaken gun laws.
“He has already deleted the Office of Gun Violence Prevention’s website.

“Closing the Office of GVP would mean more guns will fall into the wrong hands and more innocent Americans will lose their lives.”
After sharing the picture, Ruby received a flood of furious responses, with many calling out her famous family status.
She shared some of the comments she’d received on her own page, with one reading: “Who the f*** do u think you are telling us what to do?!?! Aren’t u British. stfu and move.”
“If it wasn’t for ur dad u would be working at [McDonald’s]. Idiot,” another raged while someone else hit out: “You wouldn’t know what it was like to be poor.”
“[Your] dad sucks,” another person penned with one more writing: “Progressives causing chaos again.” (sic)
Hitting back, Ruby wrote: “My favourite is people calling me a rich brat when they voted for a nepo baby who elected billionaires into our government… right right… you sound sane.”
In a post that followed, she added: “I also want to point out that for the amount of people that left me negative comments there was 100 times more positive ones… Which gives me hope… I wanna say thank you to those people sharing their stories…
“I had wonderful conversations with strangers about how they have been affected by gun violence, prejudice and division… Times like these are the only time I really see the benefit of social media…
“I do not agree with everything the Biden administration has done… In fact, I think it is important to uphold all politicians to equal scrutiny…
“However… blind believe can be a dangerous thing… We deserve better.” (sic)

Mother-of-one Ruby also shared a recent post about the devastating LA wildfires, calling on people to do what they could to support the city.
She penned earlier this month: “I have no political affiliation when it comes to natural disasters and I think naturally many need to define what is happening by blaming someone in charge and I understand that need… but more importantly is what you can do now.
“At the end of the day we are here to take care of each other so please do not wait on your government officials to rebuild or take of a community.”
The post continued: “I cannot express enough that every dollar counts… it’s what you can afford, but there are strength in numbers… So please send this out to whoever has a heart and will do the right thing…”
