What do netizens think of Lola Young's explanation after facing backlash for her facial expression at the Brit Awards?

Lola Young had to post a video clip of herself on Tiktok addressing the hateful comments she has been receiving. The backlash began after netizens saw her facial expressions when Jade Thirlwall was announced as the winner.

She explained that she had a "resting b**ch face" and she did not know that she was being filmed. She continues by applauding herself for how far she has come and expresses that there will always be haters. She added that she is doing good and events like the BRITs will bring out the "worst keyboard warriors".

Concerning this TikTok video posted by Pop Base on X, this is what fans had to say:

Another user could relate to what Young said. They commented:

"This is my biggest fear that someone’s gonna be filming themselves and I’m in the background spaced out and I just get flamed online for being a hater lol" - @DreaTheVirgo777 expressed.

Another user said:

"People make a mountain out of a mole hill way too much lmao. It’s not that deep" - @Nljigakulive stated.

One X user tried to make people understand that judging someone through their expressions does not always explain everything they are feeling. The comment reads:

"It’s unfortunate how quickly people jump to conclusions over simple expressions. She’s clearly supportive of JADE, and it’s a reminder that not every moment caught on camera reflects someone’s true feelings." - @AzZaid reminded.
