- Ever since Elon Musk has taken control of Twitter, celebrities are choosing to leave the platform over the use of the N-word.
- According to The Network Contagion Research Institute, after only 12 hours of Musk being in control, the use of the N-word rose 500 percent.
- Celebrities like Shonda Rhimes, Sara Bareilles, Toni Braxton, and more have decided that the rise is enough to make them leave the platform.
- "Hate speech under the veil of 'free speech is unacceptable," said Toni in a post. "Therefore, I'm choosing to stay off Twitter as it is no longer a safe space for myself, my sons, and other POC."
