Jess Hilarious came under fire Sunday (March 17) after she uploaded a video showcasing relief after four Sikhs were removed from her flight. The Lil Rel star defended her statements and said she was scared.
“If I’m scared I’m scared. F**k y’all. F**k how y’all feel,” Jess said. “Y’all mad at me because I don’t side with any other black person, because I don’t side with every other race. F**k y’all. I feel how I feel. I felt threatened and that was it. F**k y’all, and I’m not flying there. We were evacuated, bitch. Why? Why? with no technical difficulties or nothing.”
The Internet quickly sent the comic a digital side eye for her xenophobic comments, which came two days after 51 Muslim men and women were gunned down in New Zealand. The youngest of which was 3-year-old Mucaas Ibrahim.
One Twitter user, a DJ who goes by the name DJ The Gypsy pointed out Jess’ comments run rampant within other parts of the black community.
The backlash Jess merited did, however, highlight not everyone shared her sentiments.
