Sky Ferreira has posted a lengthy rant on Facebook, speaking out the "vile" abuse she receives daily - even from so-called fans.
The singer, whose debut album Night Time, My Time is released in the UK later this month, slammed critics for telling her how she should look if she wants to be a "pop star", and even revealed how one fan who came to her show had sent her messages harrassing her about the sexual abuse Ferreira has suffered in the past.
Read the full post below:
"I'm exhausted of (more than some) people telling me how I should look or be if I want to be a "pop star" & how they think it's okay to say vile & (sexually) abusive shit to me on a daily basis over the internet. I'm not only writing about myself...because almost every person has to deal with this. It's a shame because I now feel like I can't connect or directly speak with true fans.
I'm not a mess,I'm not a drug addict, I'm not a slut or a bitch. I recently blocked someone because they were constantly harassing me & making fun of sexual abuse that happened in my past...Which I've publicly spoken about to hopefully help others. They came to one of my shows & my friend confronted the person.We were accused of being homophobic after. Which is absolutely insane because my friends,my family & a majority of my fans are homosexual. Sexuality,gender,race,& age are irrelevant to me. As it should be for everyone by now.
Treating people like shit because you feel like shit doesn't help anyone. If you see hateful/disgusting/abusive comments,please start reporting it or deleting it. I think that's the only way we can start to lower that sort of thing from happening. Use the internet as a way to connect with others & LEARN. Show & spread compassion. <33333"
Meanwhile, Ferreira is currently acting as support for Miley Cyrus on her controversial Bangerz tour dates - but recently was hospitalised after falling onstage, and needed 60 stitches.
Night Time, My Time is released on March 17.
