She took to her official Instagram account (@whitneyadebayo) to speak against the hateful messages that have come her way. She wrote:

"What I’ve experienced the past few days goes beyond criticism. This evil, hatred and pure racism and should not be tolerated. The hateful messages, the death threats, and the unjust treatment I’ve received are not only hurtful, but they also serve as a reminder that racism is still very much embedded in British culture."

She highlighted the issue, stating that "society" doesn't necessarily accept women "like herself." She said:

"This isn’t just about a TV show; it’s about the way society can sometimes respond to women like me, women who may stand out or don’t fit a certain mold of being cute and mute."
