(10,943 posts)... how does she have the ability to "NOT allow" lies? What is her position on COVID? I suspect she and her sister were anti-vax, which leads to some reasonable conclusions. I do think she and her sister were likely "let go" from FOX in a way that would allow them to say they were not "fired."

(11,114 posts)The Covid stuff does seem to be rumor. Not like anyone knows as far as I was able to see. Just internet talk.
But others (Blavity?) retracted the claim about Covid as well.

(13,850 posts)So that's why she's "angry" now. (I think that anger is performative, but maybe it's real.)
While I believe it was covid that put her in the hospital in November I don't know that for sure. It's irresponsible of people to spread that as fact. The problem with Silk's anger here is that she won't come out and say what her sister actually died from. If it wasn't from covid, you'd think she'd just say it to stop the flow of rumors. (Like Dr. Celine Grounder did regarding her husband Jacob Wahl's death. The anti-vaxxers went hard on that, and she addressed it on social media and with a NY Times editorial!)

(55,334 posts)She writes this as if she has leverage to back up her ultimatum.
What else can she do besides whine? I imagine any lawsuit if she tries to scrape together will be thrown out by HIPAA.
She needs to mourn her friend. She needs to learn a lesson from her friend's unnecessary death
part of her grift. Worth 5 MIL and asking for money to pay for a casket.
She's a grifter just like Trump. The more she can play the victim, the more the idiots who follow her will pony up.

(54,866 posts)African-American Vernacular English (AAVE, /ˈɑːveɪ, æv/), also referred to as Black (Vernacular) English, Black English Vernacular, or occasionally Ebonics (a colloquial, controversial term), is the variety of English natively spoken, particularly in urban communities, by most working- and middle-class African Americans and some Black Canadians.
Having its own unique grammatical, vocabulary, and accent features, AAVE is employed by middle-class Black Americans as the more informal and casual end of a sociolinguistic continuum. However, in formal speaking contexts, speakers tend to switch to more standard English grammar and vocabulary, usually while retaining elements of the nonstandard accent. Despite being widespread throughout the United States, AAVE should not be assumed to be the native dialect of all African Americans.
As with most African-American English, African-American Vernacular English shares a large portion of its grammar and phonology with the rural dialects of the Southern United States, and especially older Southern American English, due to historical connections of African Americans to the region.
Mainstream linguists maintain that the parallels between AAVE, West African languages, and English-based creole languages are real but minor, with African-American Vernacular English genealogically still falling under the English language, demonstrably tracing back to the diverse nonstandard dialects of early English settlers in the Southern United States. However, a minority of linguists argue that the vernacular shares so many characteristics with African creole languages spoken around the world that it could have originated as its own English-based creole or semi-creole language, distinct from the English language, before undergoing a process of decreolization.

African-American English (or AAE; also known as Black American English, or Black English in American linguistics) is the set of English sociolects spoken by most Black people in the United States and many in Canada; most commonly, it refers to a dialect continuum ranging from African-American Vernacular English to a more standard American English. Like other widely spoken languages, African-American English shows variation stylistically, generationally, geographically (that is, features specific to singular cities or regions only), in rural versus urban characteristics, in vernacular versus standard registers, etc. There has been a significant body of African-American literature and oral tradition for centuries.
