Oti Mabuse opens up about cyberbullying

Oti Mabuse, for those of you who might not be familiar with her name, is a South African

dancer and TV personality, currently based in the United Kingdom and most recognized for

her 7 years run on the BBC show 'Strictly Come Dancing', and she has recently talked about

the show, and all the types of harassment she has suffered for being a public person.

Oti Mabuse, 31 years old dancer and celebrity, recently opened up in a sincere message for Radio Times,

where she talked about for the first time publically about all the backlash she has suffered

for her time in the show, from racist slurs and horrible messages across all her social media,

to fat-phobia related hate messages as well, but Oti tries to keep a good mindset about it,

and not let herself get dragged down by those negative comments, since she believes those few persons

leaving hate comments on her page does not represent everyone who sees and admire her

in 'Strictly Come Dancing'. If she's on a TV show with a 1 Million audience, why should

we listen to a couple of hundreds sending hate comments, if they are not the majority, they

don't represent the whole audience, and one should not let the few negative comments

get in the way of the majority of positive ones.

It's still awful seeing such a great, talented, person like Oti Mabuse receive these treatment

when she has done nothing but dance, and is great to see that she has the mental

strength to take such a mature approach to this hate she has received, but

we should make cyberbullies feel discouraged to go out of their way to do this type of thing.

Stop harassing people on the internet.
