Months ago, Kelly Marie Tran deleted her Instagram due to months of harassment online.
Tran has now confirmed all of the negativity she received by penning an essay for the New York Times.
According to Uproxx, in a powerful essay, Tran explains how she felt marginalized growing up.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I started blaming myself. I thought, ?Oh, maybe if I was thinner? or ?Maybe if I grow out my hair? and, worst of all, ?Maybe if I wasn?t Asian.? For months, I went down a spiral of self-hate, into the darkest recesses of my mind, places where I tore myself apart, where I put their words above my own self-worth.
And it was then that I realized I had been lied to.
