LaToya Forever made a name for himself on youtube coming from Toronto to hitting mainstream with Real Housewives Of Atlanta, but social media era being what it is a past video came back to haunt her.
Real name, LaToya Howard, came under fire for a resurfaced “storytime” video where she described her ex-friend in a problematic way to some viewers of RHOA.
The video is no longer online as LaToya removed the full video from her YouTube account, which was titled “STORYTIME: THE TIME I BEAT UP MY BEST FRIEND,”. There is a portion of the video that was captured by onlookers which went viral.
i grew up watching latoya y’all reaching super hard. that’s her way of comedy. if you wasn’t there from 8 years ago you don’t get to have an opinion tbh. y’all just tryna tear her down since she’s on tv now.

Some of her longtime subscribers took to social media to explain how the segment was LaToya’s way of incorporating comedy into her routines, but others weren’t so easy on her.
I watched her 8 years ago I’m just smart enough to realize that she’s been problematic and it’s ok I didn’t know that at 15, I know now tf

Her fans need to encourage this behavior! Recognise, apologise, grow.
Any black woman saying this wasn’t necessary should NEVER look for an apology again, from anyone who’s messed up. You don’t help your fave by excusing their behavior— Cat. (@cassia_tweets) February 12, 2021
