But the campaign sparked an unanticipated backlash, with many insults and accusations directed toward Beverly, especially on Facebook.

She decided to cease utilizing the platform due to the severity of the hostility.

“People insulted me on Instagram and other apps, but Facebook was the worst. I didn’t know where the attacks were coming from because I didn’t understand why I was being attacked when I had lost everything,” she noted.

After the August 2021 incident, Beverly took the decision not to return to Facebook in order to maintain her mental health.
