Oh no problem!! This is such a fine line and I always try to be careful but I have been accused of being anti-semitic on twitter (which I'd like to clarify I am definitely not). If you hold the opinion that Israel might be in the wrong on occasion, you will get dragged on twitter by certain people and she is one of them. Even though the official definition of anti-semitism says that equating the state of Israel with being Jewish is anti-semitic. It's dodgy area that I like to avoid. Having said that, I partially agree with Joanne Bell here -Stephanie was wrong to wade into the argument without knowing all of the facts. I also googled the arrest and as far as I could see there was nothing the police did that was wrong in the situation.I’m not familiar with that person I just saw her tweet and reminded me of the tweets Steph posted back in August in regards to the black lady being arrested for making anti Semitic remarks against a Jewish shopkeeper.
I posted It for clarity for all thoses that keep saying she thought and said this stuff when she was just 18, it’s clear she still held some of theses opinions as recently as this year.
If she feels that way the I hope she seeks help.
I think it’s a hard discussion to have, yes this could hugely impact her career but she could also recover from it who knows, but on the other hand it’s leaves a nasty taste in the mouth when Grazia is getting so much shit from Yeboah advocates for having her stand down from a position that become unatteniable and unsuitable to have her spear head as a diversity champion when it’s clear she hold views that are not in line with what they looking for.Oh no problem!!

Especially so publicly. Stephanie was being held up by a community (and still is evidently) that were endorsing her and backing her to the hilt even when what she was saying was problematic. When she got a bigger platform it was inevitable something like this was going to happen. This is the danger of an echo chamber and blaming everyone and everything for problems you've created all by yourself.No I actually think for the fat sistahood Fat and BLM and Trans are the pre-eminent issues and they truly believe in that.
I have always been fascinated by the certainty they have in their opinions (and that’s all they are). I am 45, quite sure I’ve got the wrong end of the stick most times and consequently try and get a 360 view of what I’m thinking about and even then am hesitant to stick it out there because ..... what do I know?
It's just humiliating as a lot of her hires have been diversity hiresI think everyone on this thread has highlighted how shocking and disgusting the racial abuse towards her has been. No one should have to deal with harassment and threats of violence. We can acknowledge this whilst also recognising how offensive her tweets were - it’s definitely not an either/or situation! I think we’ve been a lot more level headed than hercultfollowers
A quicker Instagram statement was in order too. It seemed a bit odd.. to continue reposting selfies and book tags while not addressing the elephant in the room, for a few days.
I do wonder what will happen to the Little Mix gig - especially because she was marketed as a champion of diversity. I hope she uses the constructive criticism to grow, maybe a social media break and some professional help would be good?
It was something like Sarah tagging Steph in her stories and talking about the anti semitism comments made and explained why Jewish people would find them offensive and as a Jewish/quarter Jamaican woman she found them offensive too. A lot of influencers expressed faux outrage about this as it apparently contributed to the pile-on... the hypocrisy, these influencers do crap like that all the time - quote tweeting people, tagging twitter accounts, knowing they have big platforms and causing people to go after them.Did anyone catch the drama with Sarah Albertine at all? Looks like I’m too late and have only found the evidence of a clean up
