Kehlani Speaks Out

ive made video after video after video and deleted it because i dont want any video of me as angry, triggered, crying upset as i am anywhere. i dont care how sexual you deem my music, my performances, my fun with my friends dancing at clubs, or ME. that does not give any of you the right to cross a boundary like sticking your hands up my skirt & pulling my underwear to TOUCH MY GENITALS as i am being escorted through a crowd after performing.this shit made me sick to my stomach. as a victim of sexual assault, i am endlessly triggered and mindblown..

Fans Share Their Reactions And Concern
