Petition to ban OnlyJayus from TikTok emerges online
This week, a change.org petition to ban OnlyJayus from TikTok has emerged, and it’s already had over 36,000 signatures. But why is the TikTok star being ‘cancelled’?
Well, the petition claims that OnlyJayus has allegedly been “called out multiple times for mistreating disabled creators and creators of color” and goes on to list various examples.
It then goes on to claim that Isabella has failed to “lift black voices” or “share their platform with creators of color” like they promised.
“Recently, it has since come out that Jayus contacted a ghostwriter to write their initial apology for them which has been taken down from their original page,” the petition also alleged.
