“They [people] think I am an easy pick. Character assassination is easy. Or that they can bring up my past to shut me up and pull me down. But let me tell you, that’s not happening. I’ll always bounce back. Our society needs to have more acceptance.”
The response to Malik's tweets was mixed where some sided with her or believed her for that matter while others criticised her.

“Just because you think I am controversial doesn’t mean I am wrong. No. I can be as opinionated as any other human being and I can be right too. I am heartbroken and hurt. Please leave the past behind and move forward.”
