K. Michelle may have plenty to be thankful for these days as her album “Rebellious Soul” seems to be doing well on the charts and her single “V.S.O.P” is getting lots of spins on the radio, but that hasn’t managed to stop her from disappointing some of her own fans. The singer reportedly turned down a fan’s request for a photo over the weekend, and the fan called her out about it on K. Michelle’s Instagram account. The singer clapped back and referred to the young lady as a monkey and the fan responded by sending a letter detailing the whole ordeal to some of the urban blogs. She pointed out that she felt it was offensive for K. Michelle to call another black woman a monkey. Just in case you messed it, here’s a snippet of the letter:
K Michelle from VH1′s Love & Hip Hop was seen last night at Ricardo’s Restaurant in Harlem and was asked to take a picture with a fan (a young friend of mine). K Michelle rudely replied no, and left the restaurant with co-star Yandy Smith, and friends. After leaving, K posted a picture of herself with friends, i wrote under her picture saying “It must be nice to not take pictures with your fans tonight etc. Thank You For letting a few happy people down tonight….”(visible in her feed)
K Michelle replied and insulted me by writing terrible insults/a racial slur like “Shut Up Monkey Looking Girl…… My job is not to take pictures etc… Get a life and find yourself a new weave supplier etc. ” Her fans proceeded to tag along and cheer her on for bullying and insulting me, a simple fan who admires her but was disappointed in her behavior.
Do you think after all African Americans Have Been Through an African American Reality TV Star should be able to refer to a young African American Fan as a monkey?
If you missed their heated conversation on Instagram, we posted it as well yesterday. But it appears K. Michelle has even more to say about the situation, and she says it’s more to the story than what’s being reported. She tweets (read from the bottom up):
It’s always someone else’s fault.
From what she wrote on Instagram, she called her a monkey because of what she looked like. I guess she’s trying to clean it up now but insulting the girl and talking about her weave was childish. If she continues to do these things, she won’t last long in the business.
Sorry K., you still need to grow up. You’re too old for this.
She still shouldn’t have handled things the way she did. These younger celebrities just don’t know how to handle negativity. They fly off the handle way too fast. She shouldn’t have even responded to the girl and just released a statement through her publicist.
The girl could have been rude but she’s the one who is a singer and needs fans to be successful. She needs to get it together.
She’s still wrong. People need to stop cursing out their fans. They helped you get where you are. If you don’t want to take the picture, fine. But don’t get on Instagram going off when the fan was calm and didn’t call you out your name.
Agreed!
Whatever. She needs to grow up and get a clue period. She’s got the big head already and she’s just starting to get a little buzz. Chill.
K. Michelle is starting to get on my nerves. She is not mature at all and it shows. I read what the fan said on IG and it wasn’t that serious or necessary for K to say what she did. She is always talking about other people’s looks but she’s not all that herself. She needs to really grow up.
Sigh…she has a lot of growing up to do.
Ok K. Keep it up and see where you will be in 5 years. Humble yourself.
What a weak justification for attacking a random fan…get it together K…
