While Sexyy Red felt the attacks of countless trolls online in response to the incident, plenty of fans also came to her defense in addition to Tommie Lee. “Being sex positive in her lyrical content — or in life — does not equate to having her privacy violated with revenge porn,” one user on Twitter wrote, as noted by Hypebae. “It is not okay because it’s ‘on brand,’ nor does it negate her feelings about it.” Check out Tommie Lee's response to Sexyy Red below.
