The fact that ADULTS were coming for a 13 year old child for a song, whether it was a good song or not, is astounding. I'm glad she was able to come out from this on the other side.

It was such a weird phenomenon. Imagine being a kid and taking part in something, like a cheesy school play. Imagine that being posted on the internet for fun and then getting death threats over it? It’s insanity, it was a dorky video, how does it warrant death threats?

She is so strong for getting through this. God she was 13.

I will never understand people sending death threats over something as inconsequential as a song, especially one by a 13-year-old girl.

I love how Katy Perry saved Rebecca Black by putting her in her music video. Such a cool big sister move of her 🥰

I played "Friday" for my 5th grade students once on a Friday before starting class. Now, every Friday they ask me to play "the Friday song." They actually love it because it is catchy.

We need to stop making fun of teenage girls for enjoying things. :(

13 years old and grown adults sending her death threats because of a song. Disgusting. So proud of her overcoming it all, and becoming the strong woman she is. Humans are horrible.

@Conformist138 5 years ago

I remember this coming out. My roommate showed me, and we laughed it off as a bit of cringe that she might be embarrassed by as an adult and moved on. Then, seeing how openly cruel people were being was shitty. You didn't have to love it, you could think it was bad, but why mock a child in public? Why say anything at all? I'm glad she's doing so well now.

The fact that Bruno Mars called her song "one of the best songs ever written" is honestly quite heartwarming. At least not everyone was willing to be cruel.

people sending her death threats just because the song was bad really scared me back then. why would anyone do that? poor her

I was a later fan of Kingsley and not gonna lie… it was crazy hearing him talk like that about a 13 year old CHILD. This whole situation was fucked up and she shouldn’t have ever had to hear things like that. She’s clearly a very strong person for coming out the other side of that

@cheery-hex 5 years ago (edited)

you know the saddest thing (besides the hate)... she didn't even write the song. And at least it was parody worthy, instead of forgettable

Seeing grown old ass adults screeching about her is disturbing. I never knew that's how bad it was, I mostly just joked with friends and forgot it existed. I'm glad she's made a comeback and is doing well now. Really goes to show her character.

Most of those cyber bullies were grown adult men

@ruthie4078 4 years ago

I'm amazed by how strong she is. Teens in more recent years have taken their own lives over TikTok bullying. And yet practically the whole world hated Rebecca Black - a teen's nightmare come true - and that's not even much of an exaggeration. If anyone can be a teen role model and ambassador, she can, now that she has been through this. I love her pragmatic attitude, ability to laugh at herself to a certain extent, understanding of where a line has been crossed, and acknowledgement of her own personal limits. Everyone needs these qualities.

@Dil3MM4 5 years ago

Dude, Rebecca Black is an icon now. We should all be ashamed of the way we reacted to the video initially. It shows just how strong she is by overcoming something like that. She is definitely an inspiration.

@ellemorera 4 years ago

so much respect for Katy Perry for stepping in to defend Rebecca. I always loved the song 🥺 she was just a child, she never deserved the hate she got.
