Why Did Filter Accusations Lead to Mikayla Nogueira's First Cancellation?

Mikayla Nogueira says she will never forget the first day she was cancelled. She calls it a minor cancellation over filter accusations. She says, straight out, that she does not use filters, but she is accused often. Someone made a video claiming she uses filters, the video blew up, and she had not felt that level of hate before. She had signed with a manager the week before and called her crying. When Mikayla Nogueira becomes overwhelmed and anxious, she says she wants to throw up. She was shaking and crying.

Later cancellations taught her that the reaction comes with growth, and she says she has learned to appreciate it. Her manager warned her not to become numb or shut herself off from the hate. She says confidence is what changed the effect: she knows who she is, and what she sees online is not true, so it does not hit the way it used to.
