Kelly, my heart is bleeding for you right now. I think you need to play Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" really loud and dance up a storm. Those people are speaking from fear. It is sad, wrong, immoral, hurtful, but you are better than that. We love you!

I loved your Insta Live event! Social media providers like
@instagram
could design their platforms with more features for screening posts in live settings like this. People, and especially kids, will test boundaries.

Iβm so sorry that happened to you, Kelly. I wish we could just blame it on the stress associated with COVID-19, but the reality is that there are really some truly horrible people out there. Thank you for sharing your talent.

I'm so sorry! How small on the inside are these people that being racist and cruel is how they enjoy life?
They are reverse-TARDIS dense pits of anti-matter. Because they know they don't have a personality and it's the only way they think they can matter.
