mentions, “I must emphasize: To Mock, belittle, or to be unkind in any way possible at the expense of others is: simply not my nature. It never has, and it never was.”
Social media didn’t take kindly to her response and as a result of the backlash, Awkwafina commented she was retiring from Twitter at her therapist’s instruction, but will be available on all other platforms. “To clarify: I am retiring from the ingrown toenail that is Twitter. Not retiring from anything else, even if I wanted to, and I didn’t drunkenly hit someone with a shoehorn and now escaping as a fugitive. Also am avail on all other socials that don’t tell you to kill yourself!”
Well, I’ll see you in a few years, Twitter – per my therapist. To my fans, thank you for continuing to love and support someone who wishes they could be a better person for you. I apologize if I ever fell short, in anything I did. You’re in my heart always ❤️
