Country legend Dolly Parton is speaking out about a interview that was taken out of context! Parton released a statement clarifying the comments she made in a recent interview. The statement reflected Parton’s personality and quick wit.

 “This morning while I was watching the news I saw many reports that I had endorsed Hillary Clinton. My comment about supporting a woman in the White House was taken out of context. I have not endorsed Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump. I try not to get political but if I am, I might as well just run myself ’cause I’ve got the hair for it, it’s huge, and they could always use more boobs in the race. But seriously, I have not decided who I’m voting for, but no matter what we’re gonna be suffering from PMS, Presidential Mood Swings.”

The statement comes after numerous reports were released saying that Parton had endorsed Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton. The question came up when she did a phone interview with New York Times, when asked how she felt about a female presidential nominee and Parton responded:

Well, I think that that would be wonderful. Hillary might make as good a president as anybody ever has. I think no matter if it’s Hillary or Donald Trump, we’re gonna be plagued with PMS either way — presidential mood swings! But I personally think a woman would do a great job. I think Hillary’s very qualified. So if she gets it, I’ll certainly be behind her.

Parton’s sister Stella Parton defended her sister saying:

Parton is gearing up to start the second leg of her Pure & Simple tour. The tour kicks back off on July 19^th and will run through December 10^th. She is also Getting ready to release her new CD Pure and Simple that is set to be released on August 19^th , 2016!
