“A couple of things have been troubling me these last few days or weeks or months or maybe even years now, and I think it’s time I address it. I am only speaking for myself – something I should have done years ago. I have been on the receiving end of a lot of hate ever since I started my career. Quite literally a punching bag for many trolls and negativity out there. I know that the life I’ve chosen comes with a price– I understand that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and certainly don’t expect to be loved by everyone. That doesn’t mean you can spew negativity instead because you don’t approve of me," she wrote.

The actress said she is usually “ridiculed and mocked by the internet, especially for things that I HAVE NOT SAID." She continued, “I’ve found that bits of things I’ve said in interviews are being turned against me. False narratives being spread across the internet that can be very harmful to me and the relationships I have in or outside the industry."
The Goodbye actress said that while she welcomes constructive criticism, the digging and mocking bother her. “I don’t want to feel closeted and forced to change as a human being because of this hate I keep receiving," she wrote.
She ended the note by admitting that she does remember all the love “I’ve been receiving from the rest of you. Your constant support is what has kept me going and given me the courage to come out and say this."
