Hey, been reading this thread silently and decided to chip in. Black woman here..
I watched the thread in real time, and made a few comments that were shared and liked…
Knowing his sponsor was black-owned I encouraged others to write to Frontline Therapy, and just thought why not do it myself, i sent them screenshots of it all, gave them the links and wrote a lengthy email, expressing my concern. They were also appalled and said thanks, and I’m happy that they wrote a Twitter status the next day announcing that they wish to no longer work with him, and are looking into getting their content with him removed.
i also wrote on the thread saying that he was finished , it’s not the sex work for me but the fetishisation and racial slur, and how he used black people (mostly woman) to come up and we are the same ones that are going to finish his career.
I have always been suspicious of Murad in all honestly. None of his opinions are his own, they are stolen from black women on Twitter. He then takes those opinions and portrays them as his own on his video , speaking about issues he really does not know about, as someone who is not black. This is disingenuous.
I remember once writing a comment on one of his videos saying this, and funnily enough I was met with vitriol, people defending him etc.
However, way before this all , it was quite clear from Twitter conversations that other black people felt the same way.
I was lost for words when this came out. I The same guy “exposing tea” on others, doing the exact same thing (and worse) that he condemned others for.
That apology video was also something else. He lied and he did write those captions, as it is him saying those exact same things in the captions, in his voice in the videos. And it is very clear he gets off on it. He also is not right in the head, very clearly. And also has a superior complex.
I’m glad that he is finished and will not be able to pull the wool over others’ eyes anymore.
i also found it weird that he was doing a live stream “selling tickets” of the reunion, and getting people to pay to watch with him , under the guise of “I’ll be speaking to each and every one of you, as we watch together…” - it’s very clear that he likes to sees his subscribers as utter fools, and it’s unfortunate that those subscribers are mostly black women.
