After rumors of her casting for the show, controversy exploded over offensive posts on Cheyenne’s Twitter account. In tweets that have since been deleted , Cheyenne revealed thoughts that Reddit user Blaze_90 called “incredibly racist.”
In one tweet, she shares, “My mom said I can’t see The Help, she knows I already have a problem with white people,” referring to the 2011 blockbuster featuring Viola Davis and Emma Stone, among other stars. “Last night I saw it and I wanted to kill every white person I saw,” Cheyenne continued before adding three “gun” emojis.
In a later tweet, Cheyenne said, “This little white kid told me I looked like a cat today. I shoulda kicked him in his head.” Fans were outraged to learn that MTV’s rumored choice for a show about motherhood had threatened physical violence against a child!
