"General Hospital" star Nancy Lee Grahn has finally ended her social media silence following the backlash she received over criticizing Viola Davis' Emmy speech.
During the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, Nancy criticized Viola Davis' speech about women of color. What she did hit her so bad especially on the social media to a point that bashers attacks her every day and according to MichaelFairmanSoaps, Nancy got an extreme backlash on Twitter. It came to a point that she finally took off from social media.
And now after a month away from social media, she is back to redeem herself as reported by SoapOperaSpy. Nancy explained that being away from social media helped her a lot and did her good. She may have a hard time staying away from social media but the end result turned out well.
Her absence from social media made her reflect on her "behavior and thoughts" which can lead her to a more positive outlook in life. After her Twitter mishap last month, her quest for women's equal rights has strengthened. Nancy shared that she continued to be "committed to equal rights, fairness, and justice for all women" and hoped to become a better advocate for women.
Nancy also said that she knows her intentions was not "well received" and said, "you could have the best intentions, but if it isn't well received, it doesn't really matter how you intended the message to come out."
And with everything that happened, she claimed that she is an actress who is a work in progress and hopes to become a better person every day. She thanked both her fans and critics because she learned a lot from them. Nancy said that it is "impossible to evolve without both your supporters and your critics."
Last Sunday, Nancy gave a message to her friends and fans through her official Facebook page. With how things are it seems like Nancy is in a better stage in her life right now.
Here is Nancy's message on her Facebook page:
Dear friends,
If you've been looking for me on milk cartons, under rocks, or hiding out with Waldo, you wouldn't have found me. I may have been absent here, but I've been fully present, and alert in my life. With the internet off, I've been reflecting, reading, writing, having enlightening discourse, and extraordinary meetings with people I never thought I'd have the honor to meet, let alone converse with. My silence in the media was self imposed and correct. I can't tweet and listen at the same time. Being quiet and listening has allowed me to absorb meaningful lessons and gain insights that continue to have immeasurable value to me.
To be sure, what you believe you know about me has remained to be so. In fact, my commitment to equal rights, fairness, and justice for the disenfranchised has grown even stronger.
My intention now is to continue to stay tapped in, tuned in, and turned on to learning more. As these lessons unfold with greater clarity, I will humbly and happily share them with you, as I allow myself and my experiences to be used for greater understanding and greater good. I'm excited about what's to come.
In the meantime, while I'm quite serious about my purpose right now, my sense of humor is alive and well. I will continue to find the funny in funny things, celebrate my beloved General Hospital, and rant about policy and issues that dehumanize others, as well a media that does the same. My goal, and it is a lofty one, is to try not to be snarky, mean spirited, or pile on any individual. Not even reality stars, bureaucrats, or politicians. They are all, after all, human beings.
As a work in progress, who hopes to continually change for the better, I want to thank my supporters and my critics, as evolving is impossible without both.
Now let's go have some fun this week. Stay tuned.
xoxo,
Me
