Kehlani Responds To Rude Allegations
Kehlani responded after she was accused of being mean to fans.
Recently, a thread went viral on TikTok, where fans shared their less-than-pleasant experiences meeting a celebrity, with many claiming to have had "rude" interactions with Kehlani.
The singer, who uses she/they pronouns, responded to the allegations on TikTok. Kehlani said, "I came across a TikTok that's like, 'Tell me your most unhinged story about when you met a celebrity,' and there's a bunch of rude comments about meeting me. And honestly, while some of these interactions I can remember and it didn't go how that was, a lot of these are like, yeah, valid."
Kehlani admitted she was "dysregulated" and struggling with "multiple" mental health conditions at the time — namely, bipolar and borderline personality disorder.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood changes, while BPD can cause difficulty regulating emotions, a distorted sense of self, and mood swings. Kehlani revealed her diagnosis days before the video on her 30th birthday.
"As a person with multiple mental illnesses who was never diagnosed properly or medicated ... you just have no idea how to regulate yourself or deal with anything," she shared.
She also has social anxiety. "Public places like airports, airplanes, restaurants, anything in which people are coming up to me or were in my personal space or mentioning certain things to me, as a dysregulated person, I had no fucking idea how to respond in most of these scenarios," they said.
"I know for a fact I was coming off rude as hell," Kehlani continued, adding that they don't blame anyone for speaking out against them.
And she went on to say that she's now "regulated" and much better at communicating her "boundaries" when meeting fans in public. She can say, "'No, I'm a bit tired right now,' or 'thank you so much, it's really nice to meet you and also I don't feel so comfortable with this right now,' or 'I'm not really feeling well,' or 'I don't really know how to engage.' Things like that. I really wasn't able to communicate those things."
She concluded the video by telling fans, "I love you and I'm sorry. I really am sorry."
