BehindTheStory | 'I will not use this platform ... to attack my black brothers and sisters and break them down'
Pearl hit back at the criticism, telling her followers on Twitter that the interview was filmed before the reports of arrests surfaced.. Please note that the latest developments on issues relating to Kelly had not occurred at the time we conducted the interview. Thank you for watching."
She said she was grateful for the conversations the show had started but would not ambush her guests for the sake of entertainment. "To expect me to ambush my guests or make them feel attacked by my line of questioning will never happen. To change their opinions or stories with my feelings or moral ethics/code is not what the show is about. Its called behind the story, not what Pearl thinks.
"This show is not a tabloid fest. I will not use this platform as a sensationalist platform to attack my black brothers and sisters and break them down. I'm celebrating them while I get to know and understand their story. It's their story. Not mine, and my feelings come second."
