90 Day Fiance star Mayfield wants the violence to end

Mayfield adds in her caption that she understands why people are mad about the situation but asks everyone to stop the violence. She says that rioting and looting will not solve anything. Furthermore, she explains that things are only getting worse because of the chaos the rioters are creating.

The 90 Day Fiance star concludes her caption with, “Please let’s learn to love each other and stop fighting against each other, let’s be the change that society and this world needs. Love you,” and adds a heart.

Fans’ responses to Mayfield’s Instagram post

While a couple of Instagram users agreed with Mayfield, most of them were upset with the post. Some people claimed that the riots do serve a purpose. Another said that Mayfield is “ignorant about racism.”

Several people were mad that the 90 Day Fiance star chose to use a selfie rather than a picture of Floyd. Most critics simply told Mayfield that she should’ve used a different photo. However, others went off on her. One user commented, “For once, step outside your vanity and realize that not everything is about your tacky colored hair and clothes that seem to shrink in the dryer because they are too d*mn small for you. #tonedeaf.”

In response to the comments about her selfie, Mayfield made a second post on May 31. In it, she explains that she purposely chose that photo in order to get as much attention as possible. She worried that a picture of Floyd would get fewer views, so she used a selfie to draw people in. Mayfield wanted her voice to be heard and felt that this was the best way to maximize the number of people her message reaches.
