Fifth Harmony Singer Normani Kordei Reveals Racist Attacks On Twitter

Twitter definitely needs to do something about the hate speech that occurs there. It was bad enough when Leslie Jones was subjected to all kinds of hatred and racism but when a 20-year-old young woman has to take a break you know it’s bad. That’s exactly what happened to the one and only black member of Fifth Harmony Normani Kordei.

First Friday Normani revealed she was being subjected to hate and slander that appeared to be mostly over fans of the group projecting drama onto them…

Then Saturday she revealed the bigger issue. RACISM. And the issue had reached a point that Normani decided to step away from the social media site entirely:

“Over the past four years of being in the public eye I’ve learned to grow a thick skin to critics and those who may not like me. I’ve never been one to deny anyone of their opinions, but over the course of this last week and especially over the last 48 hours I’ve not just been cyber bullied, I’ve been racially cyberbullied with tweets and pictures so horrific and racially charged that I can’t subject myself any longer to the hate.” “I’m not the first black female celebrity to deal with this and I’m sure I won’t be the last. I want to take this moment to say Love goes much further than hate in this world. Hiding behind a computer and putting people down, especially for the color of their skin doesn’t make you cool, it makes you a coward!” “I have nothing but love for everyone, even my haters and I hope I can lead by example. I also want to thank Twitter for immediately jumping into action when they were alerted to the situation. I love you all!”

Crazy right?

Prayers up for Normani. The good news is that she’s received a lot of support. Hit the flip to see what her bandmates, supporters and friends had to say!
