Lakeith Stanfield ‘Cancelled’ For Saying He Doesn’t Like Kamala Harris’ Hair
Lakeith Stanfield Under Fire For Kamala Harris’ Hair Remarks
The first vice presidential debate of the 2020 Election season has been a hot topic on social media, but Lakeith Stanfield has got himself in the mud with his own odd take on the whole debate.
The prolific actor shared his thoughts over on his Instagram page and one post included a split-screen photo of Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence.
“I don’t like her hair, but other than that this is better than the last one but still sad,” Stanfield captioned the image. Quickly, some people commented that he was being disrespectful.
Stanfield took a moment to respond. “I say what i want on my page,” he wrote. “Where are all you warriors of power when i post about the things that i believe in and support? You won’t pressure me into speaking how YOU think i should speak.”
The Shade Room shared screenshots of the exchange, and soon, the actor was dragged across social media with accusations of him hating on black women. Stanfield then shared a video where he speaks directly to the camera and vocalizes his adoration and support of Black women.
“Welcome everyone from shaderoom lol. This is from years ago but let me happen to not favor Kamalas hair and suddenly i hate black women. Y’all know that isn’t true,” he captioned the clip which has now been deleted.

Lakeith didn’t defame her character or what she stood for. He did what we all do in the house everyday to somebody on TV or social media. Only difference is he posted about it 😭
