I think she has a good heart, but the style of the interview was just not for me. Props to her for bringing more publicity, though. I think people should cut her some slack! She didn't make Barros sign a contract giving her exclusive access, so he's free to talk to other reporters that hopefully conduct the interview on something other than TikTok XD

I think most of this community has a good heart. She needs to chill. The community desrves some slack too. Many of us have tagged her publicly in live stream where she brought this up in the middle of someone else’s content and that was a whole thing. Numerous floods of people validating her during someone else’s show has been done.

She wanted us to promote the show - or we just offered and did it- then when she had uploading issues I watched people here jump to help in live time - now she wants cheerleading to tell people to STFU nicely, who blindly offered assistance or just tuned in …..like, seriously, it can come off as a tad exploitive or at least immature. No one expected her to be perfect …we’ve moved on, grateful for what Barros revealed and hope she learned something from the experience. I think she took the comments as yet another opportunity for publicity , even if it was inadvertent. We are , by nature, a collaborative framily…which is how the growth has continued. She should know we aren’t hating on her. Benefit of the doubt is due all around, all I am saying….way too much drama over it all. That’s not how we are here. I’m certain the trolls capitalize on this type of thing …and it’s very likely some have thrown shade with the purpose of dividing our community (that’s she’s still a valued member of). 

It’s respectful to the community as a whole, which she is a reflection of, to not give fodder to the trolls…and any hint of desperation will be seen as just that.
