| Consequences. To some they are ever unexpected. |
[LI] Back in 2021, Mike covered the UVA student who was harassed and doxxed because a BLM activist misheard a remark made at a protest.Red State summarizes the incident in question:
During the summer of 2020, BLM protesters were gathered on a partially blocked Charlottesville street. Morgan Bettinger, also a UVA student, began to drive down the street and then realized it was blocked off by a dump truck. Bettinger parked and started to walk down the street to see what was happening. As she passed by the truck, she had a brief conversation with the truck driver and made remarks to the effect of, "It’s a good thing that you are here because otherwise these people would have been speed bumps." The comments were meant to praise the presence of the truck so no protesters would be hurt by any possible oncoming traffic.
But in a twisted game of telephone, Bettinger’s comments made it through the crowd and turned into Bettinger calling the protesters speed bumps and saying she was going to run them over. BLM protester Bryant then took it upon herself to post an account of the incident on X, formerly Twitter. But that wasn’t enough for Bryant. She immediately began demanding that school administrators expel Bettinger. Bryant also filed a complaint with the University Judiciary Committee, claiming to the student-run disciplinary committee that Bettinger had "threatened students’ health and safety."
The committee sided with Bryant. But Bryant wasn’t done yet. She then filed a complaint with UVA’s Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights. It is here that Bryant got a bit creative with the story, claiming that Bettinger had repeated the alleged speed bump statement five times and had racially discriminated against her. Thankfully, the EOCR Office engaged in a bit of common sense and determined that Bryant did not hear the comments being repeated herself because no one could be found that could corroborate the claim.
The BLM activist in question, Zyahna Bryant, later admitted that she "might have misheard" what was said and that the UVA student did not urge anyone or threaten to herself make "speed bumps" of BLM protesters after all. The student in question, however, was bullied and harassed so badly by the woke mob that she is still feeling the aftershock.
Dove soap
Dove has now hired Bryant to be their big fat soap ambassador. Or something. Apparently, there is an ongoing push by these woke companies to "normalize" morbid obesity, to heck with the health consequences both in normal times and during the covid plandemic when obesity was a key comorbidity.
Dove Soap hired morbidly obese BLM hoaxer Zyahna Bryant for an ad campaign based around "fat liberation."

While a student at UV-Charlottesville, Bryant viciously ruined another student's life by falsely claiming she joked about driving into BLM rioters.

This is so outrageous that calls are already being made to make Dove the next Bud Light. Unlike Bud Light, which I do not drink and did not get to not buy, I do like the Dove body wash for its clean scent and hydration. I have bought my last bottle of it, though.
The New York Post reports:
Beauty giant Dove is facing a Bud Light-style boycott for partnering with controversial Black Lives Matter activist Zyanha Bryant, who was previously accused of getting a white student expelled over "misheard" comments.
Some once-loyal customers even posted pictures of bars of soap in the trash after Bryant, 22, announced she was a "Dove ambassador" helping to promote "fat liberation."
"After hearing that Dove Beauty chose Zyanha Bryant — who ruined Morgan Bettinger’s life — for their ’fat acceptance ambassador,’ THIS lifelong large lady and now former Dove customer tossed out the last three bars of Dove products she will EVER buy," one, Carole Thorpe, tweeted Thursday night along with a shot of the bars in her trash.
Even Elon Musk weighed in as outrage spread across his social media platform X, the new name for Twitter.
"Messed up," he wrote alongside a clip of the BLM activist’s initial announcement.
. . . . The company has yet to publicly comment on the controversy about hiring Bryant, whose alleged vendetta against fellow student Bettinger began in the summer of 2020 amid ongoing police brutality protests.
Needless to say, people have thoughts.
