In an interview with Bang Showbiz, superstar singer Jamelia candidly admitted her previous negative experiences with cyber bullying and her determination not to be fazed by it. She had seen words with abusive connotations as narrated to the interviewer as follows: “This week alone I’ve been called a n****r, a bitch, a sl*t, a sl*g, an idiot, a moron…& while of course I know I am none of these things..it still f**king hurts.”
She further explained that she is trying not be dissuaded by these abuses but instead, she intends to stay positive by focusing on her two children Teja, 13 and Tiani, 9. “When I got trolled I became aware of myself being drawn into a negative headspace,” the singer explained. “The only way to deal with it was to raise some sort of awareness and maybe shock people into the impact that it has. The response to my tweet has been absolutely overwhelming.”
“I’m Falling out of love with Twitter… I love that I get to connect with a lot of kind-hearted, lovely people but the amount of vile comments I’ve received recently just makes me question if it’s all worth it.”
