Why are they supporting this
The resurfaced video of Jessi has been really disturbing to watch, and I honestly don’t understand why people are trying to minimize or defend what she said. This was not just a simple “slip of the tongue” or a moment where she didn’t think before speaking. What was said crossed a very clear line. It was wrong then, and it is still wrong now. The fact that the video is old does not make the words any less harmful, and time passing does not erase what happened. An apology can acknowledge wrongdoing, but an apology does not magically erase the impact those words can have, especially when it involves her own daughter! No apology is going to change the fact that her daughter may have to live with those words being publicly available forever. And honestly, I also think we need to talk about Macyi taking over Jessi’s social media for brand deals during all of this. I completely understand being a friend and supporting someone privately. But actively stepping in to manage someone's platform and continue facilitating brand deals sends a very different message to me. It feels like choosing to stand by Jessi publicly while this situation is still being discussed. You can love your friend and still tell them when they are wrong. You can support someone as a person without helping them maintain their platform or profit from it while they are facing serious criticism. What happened should matter more than a brand deal. And I expected more from Macyi, especially given the circumstances. People don't have to agree on everything, but defending harmful words simply because you like the person who said them is not accountability. Being willing to say “this was wrong” shouldn't be controversial.
