There are those who don’t realise just how much their words can cut deeper than knives. It hurts and people can actually be traumatised from verbal abuse. They say that you should always try to remove yourself from toxic environments or just any environment where you feel trapped.
Moving to a new area or country is one way to remove yourself from an environment where you can’t grow or find peace. This certain Malaysian artist has made the decision to move to the United States after being constantly abused online by locals. Here’s her story:
Actress, model and TV Host, Sarah Hildebrand recently revealed that she has migrated to the United States of America in an Instagram post. The reason for her move is to get away from the toxic mindset of Malaysians. The actress captioned in her lengthy post, “I am blessed and very lucky to have the opportunity to migrate and start anew. I hope one day Malaysia will become a healthier and a more progressive country to live in.”
The mixed-blood actress added captions onto the selfie post itself where she called out everyone who have sent her hate messages, calling them hypocrites as most of these messages were from fellow Muslims. Sarah reassures her followers that she’ll never leave her religion as she believes it is not Islam that’s corrupted but the people.
The 32-year-old also posted an Insta story of a screenshot of a comment on one of her posts where we can see a user calling her a prostitute for marrying her foreign biracial husband Otto Gillen. She revealed that these are comments and messages she deals with on a daily basis. “One reason why I left and never coming back to Malaysia. Good riddance,” she said.
Netizens and fans showed their support to the “Seindah Tujuh Warna Pelangi” star in the comment section. Many seem to agree that some Malaysians do have this kind of toxic mindset. Few commented that they relate to her story and shared their own plans to leave the country.
Back in April, Sarah posted a video on Instagram announcing that she has officially resigned from the entertainment industry after a decade. The former TV host apologised for not accepting any more job offers and thanked her fans for all their support throughout the years.
