Rae faced backlash for a post she made in August 2022 wearing the "Holy Trinity" bikini, a collaboration between Adidas and the brand Praying, which sported the words "Father" and "Son" on its bra and "Holy Spirit" on its bottom.

In July 2020, a video that Rae had reposted in 2016 resurfaced, in which a woman calls the Black Lives Matter movement a "cult" and states that "all lives matter".

And if someone does, that's their opinion and I respect everyone's opinions, for each their own. But it’s very rare on occasion that you ever get to meet a former president, and I think most people could agree with me on that. It’s very uncommon. And I consider myself a friendly person, and so introducing myself does not mean I stand behind anything that any respective person condones."[67]
