Pearl Thusi addresses trolls
South African actress Pearl Thusi is beginning the year by confronting online trolls who thrive on disrespecting her.
Pearl shares a message of self-prioritization and positivity.
Taking to Twitter, she encouraged her followers to find joy within themselves:
“Once you’re happy for YOU, no one can change how you should feel. Always choose YOU. And remember that God is the one who provides you with blessings other people don’t think you deserve,” she wrote.
Pearl also expressed her frustration over the unwarranted hate and disrespect she receives despite living a peaceful life.
“I’ll never understand sometimes the level of hate and disrespect I get here. I just live my life, and how that upsets so many people I’ve realized is not my concern to understand. But if lying and dragging my name makes you happy, I’m glad I brought that short-lived happiness.”
Reflecting on her resilience, she credited her faith for keeping her strong amid the challenges:
“I hope you guys never experience what you’ve put me through. Without God, I wouldn’t have survived that and still continued rising. I’m truly living proof that only God can destroy what and who He’s built.”
In conclusion, the actress and DJ emphasized her gratitude to those who have supported her:
“And more importantly, I’d like to thank and focus on the people who’ve prayed, loved, and supported me through my success, silence, and setbacks. I may not know all your names, but please know that I’m so grateful, thankful, and hopeful. May God continue blessing all of you abundantly, and thank you for the love and strength you’ve channeled to me over the years.”
