JT has accused her fans of having Stockholm syndrome. The singer expressed this in a recent video where she called out her fans. JT said her fans constantly attacked her, calling her mean, yet they remain fans. Her backlash is coming a few days after she left fans divided over her actions during a livestream. 

JT Says Fans Have Stockholm Syndrome

JT has told her fans they have Stockholm syndrome. The former City Girls member shared her opinion in a recent video in response to a fan’s comment. It all started when the singer asked fans about the Millenial pause. Several of them responded, but one comment caught JT’s eye. She reacted to the comment, saying, “I could’ve been born yesterday still would have think before I speak.” Another fan replied, saying she was “mean kinda.” 

JT then hopped on social media to tell all her fans they had Stockholm syndrome. “Y’all always saying this about this, and honestly, I don’t even give a f**k no more because it’s giving stockholm syndrome. You all would not leave me alone”, she said. “As much as y’all call me mean, y’all still here,” the singer added. She also wrote in her post, “Y’all are ridiculous.”

What Is Stockholm Syndrome?

JT’s assertion that her fans have Stockholm syndrome is a reference to the medical term that explains a victim’s bond with their captor. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response to being held captive and occurs in kidnapper-hostage situations. People form a psychological connection with their captors and begin sympathizing with them. The term has now expanded to include other trauma types where the abuser and the abused form a bond.

JT’s unbridled opinion is coming shortly after she went viral for her interaction with a stranger on her livestream. While scrolling, she accidentally added him to her screen, and both seemed stunned to see the other person. The singer also appeared annoyed at the man’s lack of knowledge about who she was. Many thought she didn’t handle the situation well, especially as she refused to answer the stranger’s questions and asked him to get off her screen. 

Fans React To JT’s Stockholm Syndrome Assertion

Netizens reacted differently to JT’s claim that her fans have Stockholm syndrome. While some thought it was an insult, others agreed with the singer’s reasoning and claimed she was right. “I love JT. Never really hear her name in drama and never heard of her sleeping around. She stays to herself, and she’s super shy. She’s just a normal girly. If think her attitude is bad then that’s a personal problem,” someone wrote. 

However, most people warned the Okay singer about her attitude. Someone said on Onsite’s page after it posted the video, “Pride always comes before destruction.” A second person agreed and said, “Girl be careful what you wish for you might just get it!.” A third person commented, “Now when she stop getting support she goin be crying.” 

As many pointed out, JT’s fans are why she is on the internet, and saying they have Stockholm syndrome does not show appreciation. Hopefully, the singer will heed the corrections and stop being mean to them.
