Celebs Show Support After Kehlani Reveals Suicide Attempt
By Sydney Scott ·
Yesterday, Twitter was buzzing that R&B singer Kehlani had allegedly cheated on her boyfriend, NBA player Kyrie Irving, with her ex PARTYNEXTDOOR, real name Jahron Anthony Brathwaite, after he posted a photo of the two in bed together. It’s unknown when the photo was taken or why the rapper posted it, but we all know that Twitter isn’t kind to women who make mistakes and often the consequences of Internet bullying can be very severe. Before deleting her Instagram account, Kehlani revealed that she’d been hospitalized following a suicide attempt. She wrote:
