The Poco Lee Case Shows Just How Blinding Celebrity Loyalty Can Be 💔

The Poco Lee case reveals how we respond to GBV allegations

Since the news broke of the entertainer being charged with five sexual offences in the UK, the internet has been thrown into a frenzy — one that shows how, even to this day, we still punish women for speaking up.

For many, Poco Lee is a beloved artist, one who has won the hearts of millions with his talent. And while he has been charged but not convicted, this admiration has fed into the persistent cycle of victim-blaming, with people defending his character and turning on women online.

Regardless of the outcome of the case, the damage has been done, with the alleged victim facing shame and public scrutiny, which is why this victim-blaming culture of ours needs to end.
