Is beyond entertaining or educating the audience’
Tran off
The 14-year-old star deleted her account after the hashtag “#Takedownmilliebobbybrown” gained momentum. According to
the tag first appeared in November but resurfaced in June to coincide with Pride Month, reports foxnews.com.
Online trolls have been taking various selfies and media she posted on the account and photoshopping them with crude and homophobic captions designed to make the star, who is PRO-LGBTQ, seem to be violently against homosexuality.
As Vanity Fair notes, the star wore a pin to the MTV Movie and TV Awards this year to support the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s “Together” movement.
In one image of the star sitting in a car, a caption was doctored to read: “Just got this car. It’s pride month hoping to hit a few fa **** s today.”
A similar image of her was captioned, “just ran over a homo xoxo beep beep b **** .”
Another photograph showed the star simply posing with a cup of coffee with a doctored caption reading: “Just bought myself a piping hot coffee to throw on a fa **** .”
Ironically, Brown’s secondary Twitter account, @Milliestopshate, which was designed to be a place to share positivity and end cyberbullying, is still active. Her Facebook and Instagram pages remain active as well. DELHI: Zoya Akhtar believes that her job is to narrate stories in the best possible way, without the obligation of educating or entertaining the audience. “I am just telling a story that interests me, and that’s what my job is. For example, If I am telling you a joke, I want to tell it in a way that makes you laugh the hardest. Sometimes it will have something deeper, and I hope that it gets to you. The other times, it would be just funny and will lift your spirit for that afternoon. So I don’t think there is any hard and fast rule,” stated Zoya when asked whether she belongs to the category of directors who consider movies as a medium to educate people or the ones who use it as a mere platform to entertain the audience. “But having said that, a filmmaker’s morality, value system, politics, and world-view comes out in any story that he/she tells. Whatever you see on the screen, is the reflection of his thinking and mentality,” she further said, adding, “Above and beyond anything, the main intention should be to engage the audience. People are paying for the tickets and giving you 2.5 hours of their life. They are sitting in a dark room, staring at a screen, and you have complete control from start to finish. So, engage them... and that doesn’t mean make them laugh. There is a difference between these two things.” Zoya was in the Capital for the Red Carpet launch of MAMI Year Round Program – The Delhi Edition. The event was hosted by PVR ltd in the presence of other board of directors including filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, Anurag Kashyap, and Anupama Chopra. LOS ANGELES: Singer Kesha had accused her former collaborator Dr Luke of raping Katy Perry in a text message to Lady Gaga, the court documents have revealed. The documents, which have become public, are related to the ongoing legal battle between Kesha and Dr Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald. The text, which was sent in February 2016, did not name Dr. Luke, but said that the other recording artist had been “raped by the same man” who allegedly raped her. “On Feb. 26, 2016, (Kesha) sent a text message to Stefani Germanotta p/k/a Lady Gaga which repeated (Kesha’s) false claim that Gottwald had raped her,” Luke’s lawyer wrote in the documents which filed May 31. “In this text message, (Kesha) also falsely asserted that Gottwald had also raped Kathryn Hudson p/k/a Katy Perry. Following this text message conversation, and with (Kesha’s) encouragement, Ms. Germanotta spread negative messages about Gottwald in the press and on social media. For example, in February 2016, Ms. Germanotta posted multiple articles discussing defendant defamatory statements on her Twitter page,” the documents added.
