In the first message, she addressed claims that she was trying to take away from the success of several women of color in music.
“There’s a lot of people like that, you know?”Īnd on her Instagram Story, the singer also posted screenshots of two replies she wrote in her comments. “And when I say ‘women who look like me’ I didn’t mean white like me, I mean the kind of women who, you know, other people might not believe because people think, ‘Look at her, she fuckin’ deserves it’ or whatever,” she says. In Monday’s six-minute video, Del Rey explains that her original post was meant to highlight “the need for fragility in the feminist movement” and women who might be subject to victim-blaming for embracing their sexuality. The singer caused a stir last week after name-dropping other female artists, most of whom are women of color, for landing hits about “being sexy” and “wearing no clothes” as she addressed accusations that she “glamorizes abuse” in her music. Yesterday, Lana Del Rey continued to defend herself with further Instagram posts, this time sharing a video to explain her previous comments.
