Elsa Majimbo Breaks Down Over Relentless Online Bullying

Comedian and internet personality Elsa Majimbo is breaking her silence on the psychological toll of online harassment and cyberbullying. 

In an emotional new video, Majimbo addressed the persistent attacks she faces on social media, opening up about loneliness and the overwhelming nature of internet scrutiny. The comedian expressed confusion over the origin of the hostility directed at her, noting a lack of empathy from online audiences.

“I don’t really say hate because a lot of people don’t know me, so they can’t hate me. I don’t know where the bullying comes from,” Majimbo stated. “I spend a lot of time alone… I don’t disturb anyone. It just gets really overwhelming sometimes because I feel like I go out of my way not to disturb anyone.”

She described being subjected to baseless and harmful accusations, including being called a “prostitute” based on her clothing choices, and being falsely accused of drug use due to her body type. “People start calling me a prostitute, everyone said that I’m on drugs just because of how skinny I am,” she said. 

Majimbo also reflected on the evolution of her public image, acknowledging a past phase where she was bragging. However, she stated that claims of her calling others “poor” are false, and that she has never hurt anyone. She notes that she eventually “grew out of the bragging phase” and became more compassionate as she got older, recognising the real struggles people face daily.

Addressing the backlash she receives, she said, “I’m sorry if anyone felt attacked but I don’t apologise for simply being myself.“
