Social media users are split after streamer Bonnie Rabbit appeared to say the N-word during a livestream, sparking backlash online.
A viral clip circulating online appears to show streamer Bonnie Rabbit saying the N-word during a livestream on Saturday, Sept. 19. In the clip, Bonnie appears to read a comment from her chat that includes the racial slur. She then seemingly repeats the word, then says oh, and covers her mouth. Bonnie laughs before saying she was going to end the stream. Her camera briefly goes black, but she soon returns and continues streaming.
That was a mistake. Im sorry. I feel bad, Bonnie says.
She later addressed the moment, saying she does not use the slur casually or off-stream.
I dont say it casually, I dont say it off stream Im not sitting here ripping it, she said.
As the clip continued circulating, another video resurfaced that appeared to show Bonnie using the slur while riding in a car with fellow streamer Cinna. In the clip, the two appear to be singing along to Drakes ‘Marvin’s Room’ when Bonnie seemingly says the N-word. Cinna then pauses the music, and Bonnie appears to respond that she said new guy, claiming that was the lyric in the censored version.
The resurfaced clip has added to the conversation, with social media users debating Bonnies explanation and the context surrounding both moments.
The clips quickly sparked mixed reactions online, with some users criticizing Bonnies explanation while others argued that the context behind the comment matters.

As the clips continue circulating online, the conversation has extended beyond social media commenters, with some of Bonnie Rabbits peers and fellow content creators also weighing in. One creator who spoke out was Wardrobe Winter, who took to his Instagram Story with a message in response to the viral clip.
The 17-year-old creator shared his thoughts on the situation, writing:
Anyone associated with @bonnierabbit please let me know now. As a Black creator, I dont find this funny at all. Those words should never roll off your tongue, especially when you already know youre not supposed to say them. But at least we know your character now. Its okay the truth always reveals itself, Wardrobe wrote.
