Twitter is really a place where people talk as if we live in a Utopia instead of reality.

OF COURSE a PR team is going to drop damaging news the quietest way possible & it worked

Was wondering why Lemon kept popping up on my feed.

Just watched the video.

Much ado about nothing...hit dogs hollering.

The same folks will swear Madonna looks great

What's wrong with old folks being old and young folks being young?

Interesting, didn't know the origins of the term either.

No harm no foul though, she apologized. There's a certain right wing set hell bent on using any tactic to get black women off these platforms so they prey on things they are likely worse at but they know they can use it as a tool.

I'm not 100% familiar with Rice's domestic violence case or the work he has done since then to atone for it, so I'll just speak generally.
Domestic violence is a truly heinous crime, but hanging that over someone's head for the rest of their life strongly de-incentivizes trying to change and atone for it.

If anything, celebrities have the added issue that even if they are genuine in their attempts to atone etc, a large amount of people will automatically just see it as 'disingenuous PR from a rich celebrity trying to do damage control'.
