As the world gears up for a momentous occasion on January 20, there’s a little twist in the narrative — former First Lady Michelle Obama has decided to sit this one out. Now, before you go reaching for the tissues, let’s take a moment to unpack what this means. It seems that Michelle isn’t one to don a smile for the sake of protocol, especially when it comes to her feelings about Donald Trump. A source close to her emphasizes that she’s all about authenticity, and let’s face it, who hasn’t felt that urge to avoid a party that just isn’t your vibe — especially one where the host is less than charming? The lady’s moved on to a chapter in her life where she shows up for causes that matter to her, keeping the pomp and circumstance for when it’s truly warranted. Curious to know more about her departure from the spotlight? Well, you know what to do! LEARN MORE.

Ahead of the event, former first lady Michelle Obama’s office announced that she will not be in attendance on Jan. 20.

According to People, a source they say is familiar with Obama’s thinking told the publication, “There’s no overstating her feelings about [Trump]. She’s not one to plaster on a pleasant face and pretend for protocol’s sake… You’ll see her when she has a project or cause to promote but she doesn’t feel the need to be a public figure anymore.”
