For some unknown reason (maybe because he feels a way about himself being largely unknown), former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Kyle Quiero hopped on Beyonceโs internet this weekend to question out loud if people really find Jill Scott, the sultry neo-soul singer, attractive.
Suggested Reading
Queiro first came for Scott when she didnโt send for him on by tweeting on Friday, โPeople are attracted to JILL SCOTT!?โ
(Emphasis hisโand why the emphasis? Jill Scott is gorgeous AF.)
After being ratioโd by hundreds of comments from people (including me) asking him, โWhy are you the way that you are?โ Queiro doubled down and got really out of pocket.
โBy no means is she ugly,โ the footballer tweeted. โBut yโall really sexually aroused by her huh?โ
I canโt begin to say how disgusting it is for this Black man (who is supposedly a public figure though Iโve never heard of him) to encourage a discussion on Twitter about whether Jill Scottโa real life human being and not a vector for peopleโs feelingsโis worthy of having sex with.
Torey Lanez said it best:
Whatโs clear is Queiroโs asshole behavior is all about him and his own insecurities, and nothing at all about the gorgeous goddess that is Jill Scott.
Thankfully, the singerโs feathers did not appear to be ruffled by the footballerโs nattering.
On Sunday she tweeted like the queen she is, โWait, I was trending again? Ok thenโjustice for Breonna Taylor! Justice for Oluwatoyin Salau! Justice for Sandra Bland! Loving ourselves and each other is respectful and uplifting; supportive.โ
The mention of trending โagainโ was a little flex from the singer, whose Verzuz match-up with Erykah Badu a few weeks back garnered the highest increase in streams out of all the battles.
While Scott is counting her coins and advocating for Black lives, Queiro is now seeking her forgiveness.
โThe topic of your beauty should not have been shared over public discourse. Thereโs truly no excuses or explanations to be made,โ he wroteโor more likely a publicist wrote, since Queiro also spent the weekend defending his unprompted questions and denying that they came from a place of misogynoir.
But I digress.
Allโs well that ends well I guess. But why does coming for Black women have to be on peopleโs journey of growth? Can everyone just let us be?
