"For those who expressed concern or viewed my remarks as insensitive, I had just returned from a work trip and wasn’t fully updated on the pandemic," she said. "I now understand the severity of our current predicament. Please stay safe, and wash your d--n hands!"
A follower then called Shay out, telling her that she misinterpreted the backlash and that fans were upset over the fact that she planned to carry out a normal life.
"Yes. That was my plan," she responded. "Legit did not realize the severity of this all til I got home, tried to get groceries, researched & spoke to several people today."
She explained further: "I am not a person who regularly watches the news. I do not go on social media to read the news. It’s all just so negative."
