Did Brittany Mills use 'racist' slur? ‘Love is Blind’ star refutes accusations, clarifies relationship with Kenneth Gorham
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: Brittany Mills took to her social media to address the backlash she and her family received after her comments on 'Love is Blind' Season 6 were interpreted as a 'racist' slur.
When she met her connection, Kenneth Gorham, for the first time, unaware of his identity, she learned that he was a Black man. However, when conveying this information, she used the phrase "Kenneth identifies as a Black man," which many found offensive.
Those not directly involved in the situation wondered why she employed the term "identity," typically linked with gender, to characterize someone's skin color.
This choice stirred controversy, prompting Brittany to address and clarify the criticism she and her family encountered on social media.
Taking to her Instagram stories, she rectified, "Me and Kenneth's conversation about race had absolutely nothing to do with my family. Not sure how that was perceived, but I am happy to clarify. We were discussing being pro-Black and Black culture."
She added, "Kenneth asked how I have previously approached negative comments about interracial relationships as I have been in numerous of interracial relationships whereas Kenneth on the other hand has not."
She further added, "I was sharing my experiences with him and explaining how I have dealt with judgments from our society and my ways of approaching them. My answer was to come correct and ensure to correct those speaking outlandishly. Thankfully, not referring to my family."
She also provided insights into her relationship status outside of the Netflix show, shedding light on the couple's plans for raising their future children.
This hinted that they were potentially still together, offering a glimpse into their plans as a couple.
