However, Harisu shared it's hard to see her family suffer from the malicious posts. She said, "Watching my family and peers stressed out and having a hard time because of me was the hardest thing for me. What stressed me the most wasn't the attention on me but the pain my family had to endure."
She emphasized, "Please get rid of the prejudice." Harisu added, "Of course, I'm not a normal person so I'm not refuting that, but I just hope the harsh curse words and rumors that bother me would stop. I just want to be perceived as a non-overwhelming celebrity."
