Rebecca black why is she hated

At the age of 13, Rebecca Black's music video, Friday, became a worldwide viral hit for all the wrong reasons. Now, aged 20, she has told BBC Radio 5 live that it's taken her years to get over the trolling she received. It was dubbed "the world's worst song" by critics, and quickly became one of the site's most disliked videos, attracting thousands of comments from internet trolls.

Rebecca said it hasn't been easy to shake off the abuse: "I saw everything. When I started reading those negative comments I just couldn't stop - I just kept going and going and going.

Rebecca revealed she hadn't actually seen the video before it went live: "I saw it the minute it went on YouTube like everyone else. Black wrote that she's making an effort to think positively and accept that "Friday" does not define her. Along with the caption, Black shared two photos of herself: One taken recently and one from "Friday.

In a interview with BuzzFeed , she recalled being a "Glee" fan who brought her friends along to star in the music video with a small production crew. Cole said that with the trend of cookie cutter online popstars, Black helped to highlight everything that was wrong with this style of music.

People passed on the song to convey their own views on what music shouldn't be. And the fact that it was a real attempt at hitting the bigtime, as opposed to a satirical clip, meant it had all the ingredients for a viral hit. This reporter is on Twitter: ashermoses.

People still say hateful things about me, but it happens less often these days. And, as an adult, it is easier for me to maintain a sense of perspective. I do understand now that bullying also says so much about the pain of the bully; no one will ever bully others if they feel good enough themselves.

What I can control is my ability to love myself and to take care of myself. It is increasingly obvious to me that every single one of us is experiencing pain, and trying to deal with it. It is increasingly obvious to me that every single one of us is experiencing pain, and trying to deal with it in some way or another. And I know it is important for people to have the opportunity to express their hurt and anger in a constructive way.
