Last week former Disney star Skai Jackson went on an exposing spree putting random racists on blast using her social media platform [click here if you missed that].
Skai explains the reason behind her actions...
Skai Jackson tells Entertainment Tonight,
"I would always just get DMs from my fans, because people know I'm an advocate for anti-bullying. So I would always just look at my messages and see a bunch of my fans saying, 'Look at what this person said to me, I don't know how to deal with this.'"
"The more I saw it, it became 20 in a day, I was like, you know what? No! I'm gonna speak out about it, 'cause I think it's really important. People go through these struggles every day in life, and for me, it's kinda like my duty with the big platform that I have, to use it for good."
"I'm not exposing anything thats private -- that's one thing I won't do. Everything that is said is public information. You posted these videos, it's out there to the public. A lot of people have been trying to get me to post their address and number and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, that's one thing I will not do. I'm only posting public information."
"People can say whatever they want. But if you're that bold to go on a public platform and say these things, please don't get mad when someone addresses it. That's simply what I'm doing. If you're saying this to a hundred people, what's the difference of a hundred people to a million people seeing it? You said what you said, and obviously you meant it, so... If you don't want people to know, if you don't want people to be mad, then you simply shouldn't have made those videos and made those statements."
