Well, to be fair if things that Natalia said to Joe were nothing but a publicity stunt, then still she didn't have to do it. She could refuse to do it, she wasn't a newcomer in the show business, she knew how it may end... Also at the beginning of the backlash she was adding fuel to the fire if I remember good. Idk what were she thinking,
However Natalia got more than enough backlash for what she said... And definitely didn't do anything that would excuse sending death threats. That midset of continuously accounting people for what they did x years ago is annoying, especially when they apologized and faced the consequences. I just hope that people who still drag Natalia about that XFactor incident, never get forgiveness for the bad things they did in their lives as well.
She does NOT deserve the level of hate she receives. She might have said some stupid things, but at the end of the day, she is still human. She's a very talented artist, and hasn't always made the best decisions, but still... I can't imagine receiving that kind of hate mail and being able to ignore it. People tend to hide behind the anonymity the Internet offers. But it doesn't give you the right to threaten a ****ing celebrity you have never met.
