This is a Tweet from Sofia Richie's Twitter, from 23 hours before I'm publishing this page:
I don't know how to explain this any more clearly to people who grew up in mansions.
I'M GOING TO BE EVICTED IF NOBODY TELLS THE PEOPLE WHOSE INFORMATION I HAVE PROVIDED THAT THERE ARE HIDDEN, ILLEGAL CAMERAS IN MY APARTMENT.
I also am not sure how many relationships Ms. Richie wants to ruin by demonstrating her unnecessary jealousy of me. She's certainly free to date Justin Bieber if that's what they both want, but while she publicly and inaccurately accuses me of attempting to secure Mr. Bieber's affections instead of attempting to avoid homelessness, she is destroying all of her other dating possibilities. No guy wants to feel like the woman whom he's dating can't stop thinking about someone else, and has so many feelings about him that she feels the need to be publicly vengeful toward other women. Also, no guy wants to be a prop in a public ploy to make someone else jealous.
Ms. Richie might want to start thinking about other people as human beings, instead of as secondary characters in a movie that stars her. Everyone is the central character in his or her own life, and it's important to realize that and to realize that you have no right to use people to serve your own interests.
I'm not hating Justin Bieber, although he's not my favorite person right now. If he hates me, that's unfortunate, and I wouldn't say that it's the least of my problems, because he can harm me. However, my priority is not to be homeless; I don't know how else to explain this to people who have no idea what it's like to be poor and who do not realize that every system in the world abuses poor people in situations where rich people would never be abused.
I suppose it's difficult for someone like Ms. Richie to understand that the world could be so cruel that a poor person who is victimized is almost guaranteed to be retaliated against for objecting to be victimized. I know she wants to think that I am the source of my own problems rather than to think that anyone could be abused this much for no reason other than the lies of abusers, but that's what's happening.
I'm speaking a language that she doesn't know; she only knows RichSpeak.
Also, I know that Justin Bieber was not born rich; however, he got rich too soon to know from personal experience what it's really like to be a poor adult for years and years. I never prioritized having a lot of money, nor do I regret not having prioritized it, but what I know after decades of poverty is that mistreatment of poor people is the norm everywhere in the world. When you are poor, people know that they can abuse you and that nobody will help you and there's nothing that you can do about it.
