KyliesChild 16,907 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 It takes an incredible amount of self-assurance to stand up to bullies — whether famous or otherwise, online or IRL — and Skai did so in a way that didn't stoop to Azealia's level. But what inspired her to stick up for herself and reply, especially in a world where the common advice is to simply block someone and move on? Teen Vogue caught up with the actress — she currently stars on Disney Channel's Bunk'd and has double-digit credits to her name at the age of 14 — to talk about the Twitter incident, self-confidence, and why she decided to own the meme that people made from her image. If you ever have a bully in your life? Call Skai. She's definitely here for you. Teen Vogue: What made you even decide to send the first tweet about Azealia Banks? Skai Jackson: I know who Azealia Banks is, and I would always see her trending on Twitter. At first I would never really pay attention to it, but then I realized she was trending because of all the negative things and all the racial slurs that she was saying to [Zayn Malik]. I felt like it was totally offensive and not right to say at all. She's a bully, and I've been bullied when I was younger. I'm against bullying, I hate it because I've dealt with it. I felt like I had to say something on my Twitter. TV: Were you surprised when she responded to you? SJ: Yes and no. I was surprised because I didn't tag her in my first tweet, so I have no idea how she found it. When she did reply and I saw what she said, I was like, “Alright, this is taking it to a whole 'nother level of rudeness.” I don't really understand why she said that stuff to me, but I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to sit here and let her keep on tweeting, and tweeting at me. I'm going to say something back.

LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 So now she's going to start milking this for all its worth I see She said some pretty rude things herself, but then again she is a 14 year old I admit I did get some kiis from her responses to Azaelia. I could feel Banks stumbling to respond. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes the "deciding" part is what I'm talking about. She could have easily refused to talk about it. Not blaming her at all. Let's not imply she isn't doing it on purpose though. This is a good way to give her visibility a boost. Tbh she earned it lol Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
