Fantasia has blasted people who have been making fun of Rachel Jeantel — the prosecution’s key witness for the Trayvon Martin trial. Many have called Rachel — who was on the phone with Trayvon at the time of his death, “ignorant” and “uneducated.”
Olympian LoLo Jones even had something to say about Rachel, tweeting, “Rachel Jeantel looked so irritated during the cross-examination that I burned it on DVD and I’m going to sell it as Madea goes to court.”
Fantasia wrote via Instagram, “Sad that an innocent young man lost his life at the hands of another man, and here it is someone doing what they can for justice and she’s being crucified. Worst part of it all, mostly by her own people. Please stop the hate people, I’ve dealt with this type of hate far too long, to the point I’m numb to it but this young lady deserves better than what we deal with as celebrities.”
- The singer continued, “She is doing a deed in support of justice for Trayvon, give her a little more respect. To make it easy, if you can’t say anything positive, don’t say anything at all. #justiceforTrayvon.” (Pulse of Radio)
