General Hospital star Tabyana Ali's powerful message to her haters

Actress Tabyana Ali, who plays the role of Trina in General Hospital, attended the Daytime Emmy Awards on June 9, 2024. However, when she uploaded pictures from the event to Instagram, she had to deal with trolls who left hateful comments on the platform.

The actress, according to her fans, dealt with the hate gracefully and kindly as she took to X to respond to the comments. She said that when one sees hateful or mean comments online, they should reply with the mirror emoji, as it might make the haters think about what they are saying. She noted that it might even potentially stop them from being so negative. Her approach to dealing with trolls showed fans that she aimed to create a positive online community.

Tabyana's fans supported her call for kindness with messages on her social media. She also made it clear to her fans that responding to hate with more hate wasn't the way to go.

Ali wrote that it was the last time she would speak on the topic, adding that "we cannot be feeding into people's hate." She added that "it doesn't help" if they stooped down to the rude and racist people's levels.

"We cannot be giving it back. We cannot stoop to rude/racist people’s level. It doesn’t help. We are fighting too many wars as it is. I believe we will have our world peace, but we got to find another way to fight," she went on to say.

The General Hospital star also says it probably comes from their own unhappiness.

"I’m sorry that this is the way you feel like you have to be seen. I’m sorry that life isn’t happening how you want. But if you found something you loved to do other than hurting people, you would never have the energy to say what you’ve been saying to people online! I promise life is more beautiful and peaceful and full when you give people and yourself love," Ali added.

The General Hospital actress noted that she understood how online negativity works in cycles, stating that she doesn't feed into it. Instead, she encourages a more positive conversation and actively works to break the cycle of hate. The soap opera star suggests finding different ways to address negativity, like ignoring it or responding with kindness, to create more meaningful results.
