People were accusing her of cultural appropriation and being disrespectful to black people.
“Please stop with the cultural appropriation.”
“Please do some research and understand why you should not have a hairstyle like this. It is disrespectful considering you are not of a black decent.”
“Jesy, hun, I love you, but please take this down or write an apology. It may have not been thought about at the time, but this is cultural appropriation. I’m not hating and you do look beautiful, but this hairstyle isn’t meant for you”
“Jesy I hope u at least apologize. If you don’t, you’ll be labelled as ignorant for the rest of your career. I’m not black but I’m very aware of their culture and I respect it. If someone as simple as a fan like me can get educated on this, it shouldn’t be hard for Jesy to do so too.”
