What’s up y’all, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News, and Skai Jackson is
shutting down rumors that she got a boy expelled from school, and his parents fired because
of his past racist remarks.
Over the past few weeks, former Disney Channel star Skai Jackson has been very vocal about
using her platform amid the Black Lives Matter movement to call out and “expose” people
who have made racist comments or statements online.
She’s been sharing screenshots of people making racist remarks, and has even included
public information like their names and social media handles in an attempt to get them fired
or even kicked out of schools or their current workplace.
In one recent tweet, Skai admitted that she gave many schools, including Ivy League colleges
like Yale, the information about some of their students, and is urging them to do the rest
of the work.
She said, “To all the colleges who we contacted about the students they have being racist,
please don’t just say you are going to look into it.. we gave you the information, please
do the work!”
Skai later opened up more about getting schools involved, telling Entertainment Tonight QUOTE,
“I don’t feel like someone who says these things shouldn’t be allowed to go to college,
but I feel like maybe you should just do online.
If you’re gonna be going to a college that’s mainly black and you’ve said these things?
I don’t think it’s OK to put those people in a uncomfortable situation.”
She even went as far as getting The Flash actor Hartley Sawyer fired when she exposed
many racist tweets he wrote years ago.
The CW further confirmed his firing in a statement, saying, “Hartley Sawyer will not be returning
for season seven of The Flash.
In regards to Mr. Sawyer's posts on social media, we do not tolerate derogatory remarks
that target any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation.”
Although many fans have been praising Skai for exposing horrible behavior, some are calling
her out and dragging her for allegedly “doxing” people, which is publishing a person’s private
information on the internet for malicious intent.
More recently, things took an even bigger turn when the Internet claimed that Skai shared
details about a 13-year-old boy who had used the n-word in a meme, which caused him to
be expelled from school, as well as both of his parents fired from their jobs.
As you can see here, the angered user took aim at Skai claiming she put an entire family
in poverty while calling her a number of derogatory things.
This caused some fans to go into a rage of fury over claims that Skai allegedly just
put an entire family into poverty, and they’ve since been attempting to cancel Skai over
exposing people for their lack of education and ignorance.
It didn’t take long for Skai to get word of the rumor going around, to which she addressed
the situation and claimed that it was completely false.
In a series of tweets, Skai shut down rumors that she had gotten the boy expelled and his
parents fired from their jobs.
In one tweet, she said QUOTE, “Hi, I just want to address this situation.I never knew
“guacamole n**** p****” was something that was said in a meme.
Please do not spread false info that his parents lost their job.
This screenshot is his best friend and someone else.
I do apologize and will take responsibility.”
Some fans were also so angry that they began sharing an address online that was said to
be Skai’s home address.
However, she posted another tweet, asking fans to stop spreading around an address that
wasn’t hers, saying, “I’m getting DM’d from the people who live at those addresses
that you guys think are mine.
Stop harassing innocent people.
It’s not fair to them.
My address isn’t listed and will never be listed.”
In another tweet, Skai responded to a fan, writing, “I don’t want to be accused of
something I didn’t do.
I would rather be real, honest, and address it rather than not.”
That said, Skai also made very clear her stance with non-people of color using the n-word,
saying, “I still stand on, if you are not of color please do not say the N word.
It should not be used in a joking matter.
That goes with any racist/homophobic slurs as well.”
Many of Skai’s fans have been hard at work helping her expose racist behavior, as she
recently admitted that she received over 3,000 DMs over the past few weeks, but trying hard
to only call out people if she has “legitimate examples of racist language or behavior.”
We should also note again that Skai has made it very clear that she will not expose any
private information thats not publicly available about the people she exposes under any circumstances.
