User blog:SibunaSeason34/Stay Strong, Alexandra Shipp

July 16th, 1991, a girl was born. In 2004, she started creating music videos. Right now, after a year of filming Nickelodeon's hit TV Show House of Anubis, as well as being cast of world known TV movies such as Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Drumline: A New Beat.

Year 2014, Alexandra has made a really tough decision by joining a lifetime biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, playing the role of Aaliyah Haughton.

Now, this is for Alexandra herself.



In every single interview you've been asked about how you took the role, under every single photo you've been blamed in the comments. People tried to drag you down, they called you ugly, fat, asian b**ch, even asked you to kill themselves. I'm happy you didn't take all of that too seriously and only accepted it as criticism and hoped for them to change their opinions after the movie has been released. Now, I don't want you to take it all seriously, ever. There are moments in life when we have to face tough decisions, and yours was to join the movie. It wasn't very respectful to the family, of course, but you just tried to follow your dreams.

As much as I wanted to continue this, I just wanna tell you that despite all the controversy about the movie and all the hate you're gaining on twitter and instagram, I want you to remember that there are still people who care about you. These people are your fans. We may not support you 24/7, but we all really want you to know that we're here for you, and we understand that you're only trying to follow your dreams. Keep that up. Keep up the good work and I promise you that one day, you're going to be someone big, someone amazing. You're going to be out there in the Oscars, and you will thank everyone for voting for you, accepting your award, and we, House of Anubis fans, will be sitting on our screams, shouting and supporting you. I promise you that you will be someone huge, you're going to be the next big thing. Just don't stop believing in yourself. Why, you're asking. Because you are the right person. You have a talent. You are our idol, and even though the movie its' self wasn't perfect, you were the reason we watched it and we loved it because you were in it. Because you did your job and because you did what you could. You put all your efforts and portrayed one of the most iconic R&B singers in the music history.

We're proud of you, Alexandra. Keep up the good work. Haters gonna hate! We are here to support ya. :)

Thank you for reading.

Sincerely, @SibunaSeason34, and the entire House of Anubis fandom.
