Jamie Lever Breaks Silence After Tanya Mittal
The controversy started off when critics accused Jamie’s video of insensitivity, which, they felt, rose to the level of serious condemnation and debate throughout the social media. Although some defended her on intent, others accused her of crossing a line, thereby inviting negative reactions and cyberbullying.
She took to her instagram and left a note saying, ”Those who truly know me know how deeply I love my work and how honestly I do it. I’m grateful to God for the gift of bringing joy to others and forever thankful for the love I’ve received over the years. I’ve learned on this journey that not everyone will cheer for you or laugh with you. Recent events have made me feel like I’ve lost a small part of myself – this comes from reflection, not anger”
