Olandria as issued a statement following a viral livestream moment where a caller referred to her using a racial slur — as hosts Louis and Huda laughed!

Olandria’s Full Statement 🗣️

Olandria issued a statement addressing the incident and the deeper underlying issues:

“That kind of language is never acceptable. Not in anger, not as a joke, not ever. Words like that carry generations of pain, and pretending otherwise only keeps the cycle going. Defending it, laughing about it, or making excuses is even worse.

“I will not let this moment derail my purpose of uplifting my community. I’m standing firm in who I am and using this as an opportunity to call for real accountability and awareness. We all have a role in building a culture where speaking against hate speech is the bare minimum.”

“While I anticipate this will result in surface‑level apologies that fade in a few days, I’d like to transform this moment into something actionable. I encourage those who have participated in the stream and their followers to demonstrate a genuine commitment to anti‑racism by donating to organisations and foundations dedicated to educating and uplifting the community, such as the UNCF, NAACP, and/or the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. I will be making a personal donation as well.”

Community Reactions 💻

Fans and viewers continue to weigh in on the situation, debating whether Mustafa and Russell’s explanation is enough. Some argue that influencers should immediately shut down such incidents, while others believe shock can cause a frozen, unintentional response.

This moment has become a teachable reminder about the responsibility of creators to address hateful language in real time and the importance of clarity when explaining reactions to their audience.
