Viola Davis shows that she isn’t above clapping back at people online in a new viral video.
The video features The Woman King star at a live talk, discussing how she has handled online criticism.
She revealed that she has had a burner account in the past, which she used to respond to people who made fun of her or criticized her.
“I’ve read some really bad comments about myself and I got so pissed,” she said while laughing. “I got so pissed I said, ‘I gotta respond. But they’re going to know it’s me.’ So I went to my room and I said, ‘I gotta think of a name…and I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll think of my husband’s nickname, Lele. So I’m gonna think of Lele. I’m gonna be Lele Washington! Lele Washington cussed a couple of people out.”

Social media users responded to the post with laughter and related to the fact that Davis used a secret account to get back at people, with one person writing that if someone got a message from Lele Washington to post it.
And someone allegedy did have a personal Lele Washington story.
They screenshot an interaction they saw between two people on Twitter, in which one person alleged that “Lele Washington” called them a “hoe.”
