Norwegian singer, 22, gets Death Threats after using a Black Actor to play her love interest

...In music video about sleeping with her ex's friends




Sophie Elise Isachsen has revealed that she received death threats and racist abuse after her latest music video in which she stars against a black actor.




She was horrified when abusive comments began pouring in online in response to the love story between herself and her co-star in the video to her single All Of Your Friends.




The 22-year-old says she has been left scared to leave her home after the abuse and threats, calling the experience 'the most brutal thing I've seen in my life'.



The singer said she had expected some people to take offence to the lyrics, but never that her co-star's skin colour would provoke reactions.



By Wednesday, it had been viewed some 250,000 times, but the comments section underneath has had to be turned off after it became filled with 'death threats, racist and sexist abuse'.

'I think [the abuse] is sick. I dont know what to say, I'm shocked,' the 22-year-old told Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang.



'I have been proud of the video from the start, but now it's suddenly much more important than I had planned."

'The video was supposed to show our love, but now it had become a symbol of something that is wrong in our society,' she added.

I'm a new fan. Her comments are spot on!

 

There are some majorly insecure dudes out there if a music video can set them off to such a level

 

Right? How about a Cheerios commercial. SMH...it's 2017. I just can't wrap my brain around this garbage..these vile people.

 

I did search. could only find a preview of it..
Looks great(artistic) from what is shown..

 

I can tell she doesn't experience much racism, most people that don't have that kind of response when they do. Wished more people had that response, but it just goes to show at least in America how racism and bigotry is becoming more and more normalized.

 

There you go girl get that chocolate all over your skin. Fuck them haters lol.

 

I was in Sweden, close to Norway a bout 2 months ago. Saw mixed people everywhere as there are a lot of Africans there. It was a beautiful thing, gorgeous white women everywhere hand in hand with Africans nobody batted an eye. Wish I could've stayed longer.

 

Dated a Swedish girl one of the best girlfriends I've ever had. If it wasn't for her would have never gone into accounting.

 

Too many WM are sexually intimidated by BM in a way they aren't by other WM and other non-WM. A shame.

Their stereotypes and insults became a phobia.lol

I don't know one BM who deep down feels sexually intimidated by any race or ethnicity of other men.

 

Read the comments

They maaaaad

Even chinese and latinos are in there hating and sucking up.

 

The actor Kingsford Siayor came to Norway from Ghana as a 7 year old boy, he grew up in the city of Tromsø and work now at the national theater in Oslo.

 

The chick in these pic looks ethnic. We sure she not mixed or something?

 

No. She's Norwegian.

She reminds me of Rita Ora. Rita Ora is supposed to be white but she looks ethnic AF. Rita Ora legit looks like a slightly lighter-skin version of Rihanna.

 

You guys are very lucky to date one. If I had stayed in Scandinavia I would had dated one too.

 

Hope he would be in a Scandinavian flick or tv show soon.

 

Did you stay in Sweden for a month or two? I mostly stayed for like two or three days. Also,what city you stayed? I had visited Stockholm,Goteborg,and Malmo.

 

Great video.

 

He already has according to IMDb, and his education as an actor is from my old university.

 

Nah I was only there for like 3 days. Did at the end of a Euro trip. I visited Stockholm wish I stayed longer.
