She explained her side of what went down in Toronto.
However, unbeknownst to Summer, her fans were waiting at the venue, outside in the cold, for upwards of four hours. Many people documented their experiences on social media and it didn’t take long for Summer to once again become the target of negativity. Recently, Summer has come forward to defend herself, her live performances, and how she interacts with fans. The singer has vocalized that she struggles with social anxiety and has hoped that those who support her and her music would understand.
Monday’s mixup caused a less than sympathetic crowd to criticize the singer online, so on Tuesday, Summer took to her Instagram Live to explain what happened in detail. She refuted the rumors that she was late because she was hanging out with Drake and shared that she only saw him for two minutes. According to Summer, she had no idea people were waiting for so long and she showed up and performed when the venue told her to. She clarified that when she arrived at the venue she only had 10 minutes to finish her makeup before performing. If she any idea that there was commotion going on outside, she would have addressed that from the stage.
“I’m being bullied, and I don’t do sh*t to nobody,” she said. Summer added that how she’s being treated is “literally how people commit suicide,” because if a person tells you what going on inside of them and they continue to get bullied, it can be detrimental. The singer said she’s not personally experiencing that because she’s living a great life, but she did call out Wendy Williams for being a bully.
