She clarified that someone had taken a specific clip out of context, spreading false information about her.

“No harm to Vishy. It is so unfortunate that people are calling us ugly. I am sorry and sending hugs and love to you,” she said.
Yvette also acknowledged the impact of cyberbullying and harassment on public figures, sharing her understanding of why some choose not to engage with their followers.
She lamented how people often rush to judgment without taking the time to understand the context or intentions behind certain clips.
“It makes sense why some public figures do not want to interact with some of you because of the cyberbullying and the harassing since you do not take time to understand where this clip was coming from,” she explained.
Despite the hurtful comments she has faced, Yvette maintained a positive outlook.
“I thank God for my looks and whatever was said, inshallah and good vibes.”
She further encouraged her fans and followers to practice empathy and interact with people before making judgments based solely on appearances.
