In a powerful and inspiring message, South African actress, DJ, and businesswoman Pearl Thusi recently addressed her critics in a candid Instagram video, resonating deeply with her followers.
The “Queen Sono” star used the opportunity to not only confront the negative comments she’s been receiving but also to offer guidance to others facing similar online criticism. Thusi admitted that, in the past, she might have been quick to react to the harsh remarks aimed at her. However, after personal growth, she shared that she’s learned more constructive ways to handle negativity.
The video focused on the backlash Thusi received after posting a previous message where she expressed her need for space and asked people not to check on her. She shared how she’s been targeted with accusations, including claims about her appearance and behavior, especially in comments made in Zulu. Despite the hurtful remarks, Thusi explained that she now understands that she doesn’t need to give such negativity the power to affect her.
Reflecting on her growth, she emphasized that the power of such comments only exists when we allow them to impact us. She encouraged her followers to consider whether these negative comments truly deserve to affect them, reminding them that what others say says more about them than it does about the person being criticized.
Fans responded positively to her message, expressing gratitude for the wisdom she shared. One follower wrote, “Proud of you, Little Sis,” while another highlighted how challenging it can be to process such criticism but commended Thusi for finding a healthier perspective.
In a time where online trolling can often feel overwhelming, Thusi’s words serve as a reminder that resilience and personal growth can be the best responses to negativity.
