Hannah Berner SPARKS OUTRAGE After Telling Megan Thee Stallion Her Music Makes Her ‘Want to Fight’ – Fans Accuse Her of Being Racist!
Hannah Berner is facing backlash following her red carpet interview with Megan Thee Stallion at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. The Summer House alum, 33, is being slammed on social media for what critics are calling a “microaggression” and a racist stereotype after she told Megan, 30, that her music makes her “want to fight.”
In the now-viral interview, Hannah praised Megan for inspiring confidence in women. “You give so much confidence to women everywhere. What do you do when you’re not feeling confident?” she asked in the March 2 clip. As Hannah got emotional, telling Megan she was “gonna cry,” things took an unexpected turn.
“Your music has literally, like, made me want … when I want to fight someone I listen to your music,” Hannah said. “When people are talking sh*t, I go, ‘Turn on Megan Thee Stallion!’”
During the interview, Hannah also acknowledged the “many dark things” Megan had been through, praising her as an inspiration to others. Paige DeSorbo, 32, who was co-hosting the interview, reacted by saying, “I’ve never seen her this passionate.” After the interview surfaced online, viewers quickly called out Hannah’s choice of words, accusing her of reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
“This interview was so annoying. These white women need to stop interviewing black people,” one Instagram user wrote. “So microaggressive,” another commented. “Her music isn’t for fighting.”
Others called out what they saw as an attempt to paint Megan as aggressive. “Calling her music violent is weird,” one person wrote. “Megan’s songs have NOTHING to do with fighting,” another added.
Some took the backlash further, accusing Hannah of outright racism. “It’s giving racist,” one user commented bluntly.
“Angry Black woman is what they always think of us,” another person noted. Hannah, who starred on Summer House from seasons three through five, has yet to publicly address the backlash.
