Like you said, the issue was how she expressed herself despite having talent.

The whole slut shaming racism thing were pretty baseless anyway. According to teh internet, she has been with the same guy since she was 16, and is now engaged to him. Which is curious, because that's the opposite of the definition of slut. And there is really no evidence of her being racist either.

I just can't help but admire the shitstorm she started. It's PR genius.
