Well-known American singer Halsey had recently gotten into trouble regarding a post that she shared on social media. The singer has previously gotten in trouble for sharing content on her social media as well while having received backlash for her views. She has invited similar trouble upon herself quite recently about a post that she shared; on being criticised for the same, she also apologised. Have a look at what happened.
Fans react to Halsey's apology
A trend was flowing on Instagram called “Post a photo of...”, with various kinds of photos being posted by a number of netizens. Eventually, a fan asked the singer to post a picture of her ‘lowest point’. That was soon followed by her response where the singer posted an image of herself wearing nothing but underwear, which happened to be the time when she had an eating disorder. The singer thus portrayed that phase as the ‘lowest point in her life’. The post soon started receiving a lot of criticism on social media.

I am very sorry for posting a photo of myself depicting my struggle with ED without a sufficient trigger warning. I was very nervous to post it and didn’t think properly. I had positive intentions. I would never want to harm someone who shares my struggle.

The numbers were high enough for the singer to consequently post her apology on Twitter, as she said she was apologetic for posting the photo of her eating disorder without a ‘trigger warning’. Her fans immediately jumped to her support, showering their love onto the singer. They showed her their appreciation and even called her 'queen'.
we love you
