An outspoken supporter of United States President Donald Trump has praised US border control for refusing entry to 's musician boyfriend.

Adam Hyde, who performs under the name Keli Holiday, was supposed to perform four shows across the US and between May 1 and May 7, but was detained at the US-Canadian border and refused re‑entry into the United States.

Speculation has now spread that he was detained due to a video Abbie shared in July last year, in which she implied 'incels' should harm US President . 

Abbie, 30, has not confirmed if this was the case, but she posted a 10-minute video statement apologising for the remarks made in the clip.

Juanita Broaddrick, a vocal Trump supporter who famously alleged she was raped by former president in the '70s, shared Abbie's controversial video alongside a statement from Adam on Tuesday.

'Australian musician Keli Holiday has been denied entry in USA after his partner, Abbie Chatfield made these disgusting remarks ,' Broaddrick wrote.

'This is how you do it! Thanks Border Patrol.'

In her apology video on Tuesday, Abbie said she had 'done so much growing' in the year since posting the video.

'I have [done] so much work to really understand the impact of my words, and also understand that I need to f***ing think before I speak,' she said. 

Abbie went on to argue that her original post was only a joke aimed at 'incels' and the online idolisation of accused killer Luigi Mangione.

She insisted she did not seriously call for Trump's assassination, but conceded that her words had a controversial impact. 

'People have said that I have called for the assassination of Trump. I do not want that to happen. I want to be clear,' she said.

'I do NOT believe that political assassinations are positive for anybody. In fact, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I said that.

'I never called for the assassination of [Trump]. This was a punchline ... about incels and the… bizarre reaction to Luigi Mangione.'

Speculation has spread that the reason he was detained was because of a video Abbie shared in July last year, in which she implied 'incels' should harm US President Donald Trump 

Abbie said her 'joke' was 'misinterpreted', but added that she regrets ever making the video in the first place.

'Looking back on all the things that I've said over my career, there's so much I should have done differently, and this video is one of them,' she said.

'But I do want you to know the context and the attempt at a joke that really wasn't funny, and also the fact that I did not say President Trump.'

Abbie finished her video by saying her coming national speaking tour will shed new light on her recent growth as a media personality. 

'I want people to understand that I'm genuinely concerned about these topics, and I need to redirect my anger into being educational,' she said. 

'Yes, still having a laugh, but not in a way that could harm people.'

She did not name Trump in the July 2025 clip, but made a gun symbol with her fingers and implied he should be harmed.

'Americans, when are you going to do it? Why is it not already done? Every day, there's another [gun symbol] happening, right?' she said. 

Abbie's apology video concluded with her saying she will shed a new light on her recent growth as a media personality in her upcoming national speaking tour

In the video, shared in 2025, Abbie said: 'Why is it not already done? Every day, there's another [gun symbol] happening and that's awful for your country, right? Why don't we redirect this energy to something else, you know?'

A devastated Adam admitted he was 'gutted' by the decision.

'I hate letting people down and to be honest really wanted to party with you all,' he continued.

'Thank you for all the support and patience while I figured this out.'

A representative later confirmed the singer had returned to Australia and is preparing for the next leg of his domestic tour, with performances across New South Wales and Victoria due to begin this week.

While no formal explanation has been provided by US authorities, the incident comes amid growing concerns around stricter US border controls under Trump's administration.

Australians have reportedly been bracing for increased scrutiny following proposed changes to the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA), which could require travellers from visa-exempt nations, including Australia, to provide up to five years of social media history.

The policy overhaul has sparked fears among many travellers that controversial digital footprints could impact entry approval.

Adam was approached for comment.
