Cara Delevingne has spoken out after losing 50,000 Instagram followers in 24 hours.
The model/actress/It girl had posted about the sexual assault and pedophilia claims made against rapper R Kelly the day before, saying she was “shocked and outraged” after watching the Surviving R Kelly documentary.
“Stop separating art from the artist,” Delevingne had concluded a long caption.
“Just because he sings like an angel, doesn’t mean he is one.”
Apparently Cara had a lot of R Kelly fans following her (?) because in a single day she dropped 50,000 followers. In a follow-up note, Cara was defiant.
“Every time I say something real, something I truly believe, something others may think of as controversial, something that makes people think and ask questions, I lose followers,” she said.
“The followers I lose clearly don’t agree with what I have to say, people that support the ideas and actions of others who are moving backwards and not forwards. In 2019, I want to be more confrontational. Confrontation IS NOT VIOLENCE,” she continued.
“It’s communication. Something I still struggle with. I have always been taught to avoid confrontation at all costs, which caused me to be silent most of my life, silence causes suppression and suppression causes sickness. Not anymore!
“Goodbye silence and backwards followers, hello confrontation and forward thinkers. It’s going to be a loud year.”
We certainly won’t be unfollowing.
