"Thinking of all the people I have met who silently struggle with mental health & suicidal thoughts and then hearing someone so callously turn that battle into a joke just goes to show that there is still so much work to be done. We must educate ourselves to break the stigma," Kiana Valenciano added.

Making light of suicide and mental illness is not funny and should not be tolerated.

#ApologizetoNadine, and to every other public figure they've outed without permission, misgendered, whose mental health they made light of and made fun of, whose personal space they've invaded, to every victim of their irresponsible writing that's based on hearsay and not fact. https://t.co/YQElZ77o8c
