Ari Lennox Has a Message for Social Media Trolls

Published

on

Yesterday, Ari Lennox felt it was finally the time to deal with some unfinished business of letting social media trolls know precisely how she felt.

Lennox a Target

Ari Lennox reports being the target of some pretty tasteless ribbing about her looks, and she is tired of it. Her response was,

“I recognize beauty standards vary and lots of self-hate and oppression can play a big part in that. To my new troll fans, there’s not much more you can say.”

No one can deny the maturity in that response.

Bullies Gone Wild

One must call a spade a spade. Trolling is nothing more than bullying and is fundamentally fruitless. Furthermore, when an individual becomes the sole target of someone’s jest, it takes on an entirely new level of barbarism as it crosses over into the purview of obsession. Unfortunately, Ari has dealt with this continually. So, there is no wonder she is fed up.

“These trolls are relentless. For months straight they won’t stop bothering me.”

Is There a Rationale

No, there is no rationale for such behaviors. Even if there were a rationale, it would not justify the actions. One begins to ask, when is enough enough? Given Lennox’s experiences, it will never be enough for some trolls.

Lennox’s Exemplary Growth

It’s not that the attacks on her appearance do not affect her, but instead, she has become accustomed to the trollish behavior and chooses not to react on their level. In her words,

“To these weird obsessed evil individuals, I pray you get therapy for your obsession with me.”

Admittedly, to wish one well that has negatively impacted your life shows tremendous growth.

What Lennox Experiences Teaches the Masses

Although part of her social media exchanges was deleted, her intent was clear. Those who needed to get the message got the message. Her experiences with success teach the masses that success is not a shield. Rather success posts individuals up as vulnerable targets removing any armor and magnifies everything. Sadly, only the thick-skinned survive.

Lennox Keeps it Authentic.

Ari Lennox is proving that she is developing the resolve and learning to shift her focus on what is important to her,

“F this. Some folks will choose to remain stupid. I hope everyone has a beautiful day 😘❤️”

We agree with Lennox no one is perfect, and no one should be held to such standards. But unfortunately, today, common sense is far from a commonality. So, we applaud Lennox for showing moxie and standing up for herself. That’s the kind of action that inspires others to do the same. We are talking empowerment to the 10th power.
