It’s not unusual for Mendoza’s Twitter mentions to include comments about wanting to hurt her, or saying things such as, “It’s like nails on a chalkboard listening to a female voice on television.” And while she says she initially found the insults laughable, it got to the point where she had to stop looking at her Twitter mentions at times. She understands if people disagree with something she says on air, because that comes with her job. But the people that express a desire to physically harm her in some way, are the ones she finds baffling. And her response isn’t what you might expect. She wants to meet these haters, she admits. “I want to talk to them and be like, ‘Why do you hate me so much?’ I want to sit down with them and I want them to look me in the face and tell me that.”
