Netizens who came across her post responded in various ways stating, “Looks like she might be directing the message at someone,” “A lot of people have already seen this I wonder why she’s not deleting it,” “I think it would be best if you took this off,” on the other hand, some stated, “Are people seriously criticizing this,” “I don’t think we need to treat this post with that much significance..”
