Karen Civil has finally broken her silence in an interview to Essence, after being accused of being a thief and liar from rapper Camron yesterday.
You’re all about bringing positive vibes to social media, yet right now you’re receiving a lot of negative backlash on Instagram. Let’s talk about it.
Yeah. I’ve gotten to a point where this isn’t the first time it has happened to me. It’s all about how you use your social platform. Right now, I’m just using mine to empower people, get my entertainment and my news. Other people use their platform for different things. It’s unfortunate that cyberbullying is something that happens to 13-year-old kids in junior high and adults in the workplace. It’s something that we have to deal with as Americans. I am now a testament to it, and it’s happening to me. It’s definitely an unfortunate situation.As far as this most recent cyberbullying incident, you told your version of something that transpired, and now you’re being attacked and called a liar publicly. That seems crazy.
I’m not going to feed into it. I’m at a different place in my life.Do you ever read the negative comments? How do you personally handle them?
I honestly haven’t had the time. I have a lot happening this week that I’m really excited about, especially with doing campaign trail stuff with Hillary [Clinton]. This is a really big and important week for me. I’ve been working on some future plans and things that I have planned for Haiti, and I’ve been meeting with my team about that for the last two days. It’s been a little hectic on my end, but I haven’t had the time to read them.What advice would you offer to anyone who gets cyberbullied or shamed online?
You have to make sure that you have a great core group of friends around you … Everyone doesn’t handle bullying the same way. It may be family or friends, or someone around you, to help support you through your time of need. Words do cut, and they do hurt. It was one thing growing up where you were bullied, but you’d just come home. Now you can’t really escape it. It’s to a point where you turn off that phone, you live your life and you try not to let the words of others offend or stop you from being you and living your life.
She didn’t really go into detail about the incident and basically circled around the allegations. Karen…come on now. You know how the internet works. You were dating someone in Meek Mill’s camp while his beef happened with Drake. You know exactly how trolls work on here. Camron leaked the audio and instead of just admitting you did what you had to do to get to the top, you want to plug in the fact that you’re going to be with Hillary Clinton next week. It looks like we won’t be getting the REAL side of things from Karen anytime soon.
