Victoria Justiceremembered for their papers in youth series as Zoey 101 and Victorioushe has decided to break the silence about an episode that marked it deeply: the alleged enmity with Ariana Grandea controversy that originated from a video of a 2010 interview for the magazine Popstar.
In this video, Justice, along with his cast partners of Victorious, Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies and Daniella Monethe talked about his personalities. Gillies commented Ariana’s vocal skills, to which Justice responded with a simple: “I Think We All Sing” (I think we all sing).
Years later, in 2017, this clip resurfaced on the Internet, triggering a wave of criticism against Justice. Many users interpreted their comment as a passive-agre social networks that had devastating consequences.
In a recent interview for the program Last Meals of Mythical KitchenJustice clarified the situation: “First of all, it was a fact. We all sang, ok? I think the medium published that video gave him a totally different narrative. It must have been a very slow day for them, because they took it out years later …”
The actress confessed to having received death threats and an overwhelming amount of hate messages. “I received so much I hate … I asked me: ‘What did I do? What did I do?'”Remember Justice, describing the experience as “crazy” that also deeply impacted his family, especially his mother.
However, time has provided a new perspective. Currently, Justice looks back with a mixture of humor and resilience: “Now it seems funny to me. I don’t care. I’m inside the joke. I say it all the time. It doesn’t affect me anymore,”he states.
His experience serves as a reminder of the destructive power of social networks and the importance of empathy and critical judgment on the information that circulates on the Internet, a phenomenon that shows the vulnerability of public figures against “digital lynching.”
