“I read all the horrible things people said calling him a sellout and hating on him big time,” she added. “But he kept it moving because every person who has affected change has been criticized and dogged by their peers. One thing that I’ve noticed about Jay is that he doesn’t let what people say bully him into not doing the things that he knows are right.”
