A couple of days ago, a famous TikTok star named Isa Escu was exposed with a shocking video of her and her friends in a car. At the start of the video, she said the n-word and flipped off the camera. She then shouted things about her ex-boyfriend to someone in the video. This appalled her fanbase, and fans have been unfollowing her rapidly for some time. Isa used to have two million followers, but they have been lessening by hundreds of thousands daily. The video was highly offensive and entirely unacceptable for anyone watching it.
Another disappointing anecdote is the fact that she even said the n-word in the first place. Isa will now say goodbye to colleges, and now that the video is spread all over the internet, she will most likely have trouble applying for jobs in the future if they choose to take a deep dive into her social media history. If she simply had decided not to be racist, she could, in turn, not have ruined her future. This ordeal is disheartening for everyone involved because it is incredibly depressing that someone would choose to say that, no matter the circumstances. The situation also turned out to be a reality check. Many fans of hers looked up to her and took after her, but now, everything has changed. The video shows how someone acts, looks, or feels on social media, which can completely differ from real life. People think they are safe behind a screen, so they feel like they can say things or do things that are not right because they believe real life won’t catch up to them. But in Isa’s case, it did. Many students in her school exposed her on various social media platforms and stated that she’s always rude, unbecoming, and unwelcoming. This was a surprise to many, as she seemed nice online. This proves that people aren’t always what they seem on social media.
In conclusion, this was disappointing to discover. By making one wrong choice, she put her entire future in jeopardy. It was also exceedingly offensive and hurtful. Hopefully, this kind of situation can stop altogether. In the meantime, we must stop supporting her and anyone who portrays this behavior.
