A woman can be heard calling singer Sam Smith “demonic” and “evil” in a video that has gone viral on social media. The video shows a public event where the woman was.
Many fans already know that Sam Smith uses the pronouns “they” and “them” and came out as non-binary in 2019.
Sam Smith said it was shocking to hear that they had been bullied and harassed after coming out. In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, they said that their personal lives have been fine but that the public hasn’t been as supportive.
They explained:
I think all the only negatives in the struggle have been in my public life and my job. And just the amount of hate and s***tness that came my way was just exhausting.
It was in the f***ing news. Someone spat at me in the street. It’s crazy. What I find hard about it is it’s like, if that’s happening to me and I’m famous, I’m a pop star, can you imagine what other kids, like queer kids are feeling?
And it’s just so sad that we’re in 2023 and it’s still happening. It’s exhausting and especially in England.
But Sam Smith said that they feel relieved that they can finally be who they feel they’ve “always been,” despite all the hate.
My love life has become better from it. I feel lovable. I feel comfortable in my skin, but I wear what I want to wear.
Since changing my pronouns, it felt like a coming home. I wish I knew what the words were when I was in school because I would’ve identified as that in school,
they said.
Because it is who I am and it’s who I’ve always been.
The music video for Sam Smith’s new song “I’m Not Here to Make Friends,” which is the latest single from his album “Gloria,” was just put online.
In the video, Sam Smith can be seen dancing in a suggestive way while wearing clothes like suspenders and tassels that some people have called “overly sexualized.”
Now, not everyone likes Smith’s new song, especially after they performed it at the Grammys, where many people called the singer “evil” and some even said it was “literally a tribute to Satan.” Yikes!
Smith and Petras won the Grammy for “Best Pop Duo.” Their performance was a big deal for the LGBTQ+ community. Petras was the first transgender woman to get the honor.
But that didn’t stop people from being mean, and it’s not just online. Recently, a woman called Smith “demonic, twisted, sick *******” and said they should be in “hell.”

If anyone is demonic I’m going with that husky-throated thing yelling.
