“Why Do You Guys Hate Me So Much?” Lady Zamar Confronts Online Hate and Cyberbullying as Trolls Continuously Drag Her Over ‘R*pe’ Allegations Against Sjava
South African musician Lady Zamar has been facing relentless attacks on social media ever since her rape case against fellow artist Jabulani “Sjava” Hadede made headlines.
The case was ultimately withdrawn by the Director of Public Prosecutions in court, but the singer has not had a moment’s respite from the toxic barrage of hate and criticism she’s endured since then.
Taking to her Twitter account, Lady Zamar penned a candid and emotional post, expressing her frustration and despair over the unending cyberbullying and trolling she has faced since the rape allegation saga between her and Sjava.
Lady Zamar’s Heartfelt Plea: Battling Cyberbullying and Trolls
In the heartfelt message, she questioned why she has become such an easy target and lamented that people do not know her full story or the reasons behind her silence.
She posed disturbing questions to her detractors, asking if they would be happy to see her dead or harmed. “Do you want me to kill myself, do you want me to die, be murdered, go to jail to make you guys happy?” she expressed in anguish
Her Twitter post reads:
“Why do you guys hate me so much? How have I become such an easy target for you guys? You guys don’t know me, or my full story, and you don’t know why I’ve kept quiet for such a long time… You guys have no idea how you break a person. I can’t move on from your assumptions of what happened to me… You’ve made your opinions my truth… What’s the end goal of all this hate, and why are you so determined to believe a story that’s not even full or mine?…”
“When I try to tell you my truth, you guys don’t wanna hear it. When I try to move on, you guys attack me. How am I supposed to exist in this space… and when can I just be me and not have to either explain or apologize after you’ve commented on my stuff and said the most vile and evil tweets, what do you hope to achieve with it… What action would satisfy you guys coz I just can’t just live my life, I can’t just tweet, and I can’t just voice my opinions about anything, especially relationships? Please help me out here…”
Can I move on, or should I keep on apologizing for trying my absolute best to move on… Do you want me to kill myself, do you want me to die, be murdered, go to jail to make you guys happy… Do you guys want me to stop making music or publicly cry so you can see how I actually feel about what happened to me?”
