SHE SLAPPED AND LOST EVERYTHING… HE SLICED AND GOT SYMPATHY: LIBERIA, LET’S TALK
At the end of March 2025, Kindness Wilson’s slap made national headlines and quickly turned her world upside down. She was stripped of her titles, bullied online, and publicly shamed. But when Gary, a male public figure recently sliced his friend in a violent altercation at a local night club, society’s reaction was shockingly different as he was met with public sympathy, open forgiveness, and even celebrated reconciliation.
Let that sink in.
In the words of Leelai M. Kpukuyou, who chose to stand by Kindness when it wasn’t popular:
“Why do we as a society tend to extend grace so freely to some and hold others at a different, harsher standard?
Could it be cuz the two young people are men, and Kindness is a woman?”
In light of the prevailing circumstance and honest reflection, Kindness herself shared:
“Some actions cause pain, others cause headlines. Some get forgiven, others get framed… Misjudgment? That one’s always loud. And that’s okay.”
“I’ve made peace with the parts of my story that others tried to rewrite.”
Dosers, this isn’t just about one slap or one stabbing. It is about the kind of society we’re becoming. One where public outrage is selective and grace is reserved for the familiar or the favored.
To everyone standing tall in the storm, we see you. Let this be a call to reflect, unlearn, and do better. Until we confront these truths, we are not being honest about the society we’re building.
Please share your thoughts!
