Doja defended the other people in the chatroom Wednesday on Instagram Live and said she's tired of being bullied over the scandal.

“I just realized how f*cking stupid that narrative is. I just realized that. The things, the verbal harassment, the physical harassment, that I could go through being in a crowd of white supremacists, who you think I’m so good friends with. It’s f*cking ridiculous. My friends aren’t f*cking racist on chatrooms. My friends on Tiny Chat are not f*cking supremacists. They love me, I love them. They’re loving, and that’s it. And you won’t find anything on them because you’re f*cking stupid. Your actions are stupid. You may not be stupid, you may be smart. But your actions are not telling. It just is what it is. You guys are f*cking disappointing. This isn’t how you combat problems. And if you think it is, then you need to grow the f*ck up, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you suck right now.”

"Anybody who doesn't have time for that sh*t, anybody who actually cares about themselves isn't going to spend time on my platform trying to destroy my self image," said Doja "You're trying to make me feel worse. If I was already feeling like sh*t about myself, you're trying to make me feel worse about how I look. You're taking my features and you're sh*tting on them. Which are what features? Exactly. I have black hair, I have black skin, I have black features and you're sh*tting on them."

"You won't find anything of me being racist because I haven't been racist and I'm well aware that I'm recorded in chat rooms," she added. "But I just wanted you guys to know, for my fans, if you felt disappointed or embarrassed, I'm sorry. It took me a while to understand what the f*ck was going on. There's young fans who look at me like, 'Oh, if she's saying this word then maybe I should be saying it, too.' No. No. You should not be saying that word, period. And that's what I'm sorry for."
