Asked about the most triggering comments she receives on the app, Easterling said, A lot of it has to do with body image.
This is difficult, she said. I ve definitely had my share of headlines. I receive a lot of hate and for the craziest things, she continued. People seem to hate me for being too nice… they just hate it. People are actually so upset about me smiling all the time … No, literally, if I laugh in a TikTok, people are like, Why does she have to laugh about everything she does?
She went on to say that she surrounds herself with good people who love me and I love them and tries to remember that those who leave negative comments may be going through a tough time and taking it out on her.
