Full Transcript
Singer Jourdin Pauline has announced she is stepping back from social media due to relentless cyberbullying. In a concerning message, Pauline accused online users of mocking her late sister and disrespecting her family.
This decision comes after she publicly accused Tylil James, a member of the content creation collective Clover House, of sexual assault, which he denied while suggesting he has evidence to disprove her claims.
Following this, fans of James reportedly attacked Pauline online, leading her to express that the online hate has significantly impacted her mental health. In a since-deleted tweet, she mentioned the 'lies, threats, and dehumanizing comments' she faced, stating that she needed to leave social media to focus on her music and legacy.
Pauline specifically addressed the negative comments about her mother and deceased sister, urging people not to speak on her sister's story since she is not here to defend herself. She concluded her message by stating, 'Only God knows what I'm feeling, and I'm deciding to not feel this pain anymore and finally be with God.
I promise my spirit, my music, and my art will do the living for me. God bless everyone, goodbye and farewell.' This incident underscores the severe impact of cyberbullying on individuals, highlighting the urgent need for stronger regulations and support systems for victims in the digital landscape.
