Exposing him?? He’s not a cannibal or a serial killer, he just likes Taylor Swift! Look, I don’t agree with sharing your child’s life on line because people are FOOLS but the kid liking Taylor Swift and being happy to go to a concert is not a big deal. It most certainly does not warrant crazy ass name calling and…

What possible good could have come from this?

Are you seriously suggesting that she should have let slide the many comments from grown men calling her 5 YEAR OLD CHILD “gay”?

“These producers and directors,” Cardi said, “they’re not woke, they’re scared.”
