What did Litzareli Madrigal and Alondra Poullet say? Jackie La Bonita's bullies address viral video, prompt further online backlash

When Jackie La Bonita uploaded a video of a few girls making fun of her at the recent Houston Astros game, it ignited a furious debate on social media. The video garnered millions of views and comments, with the internet either siding with Bonita or questioning the video's authenticity.

In the now viral clip, Jackie La Bonita can be seen taking pictures of herself at a baseball game. Just then, a woman in the background seemingly shows her middle finger to La Bonita, while her other friend shouts “lame.” Jackie also claimed that she could hear the two women talking about her as they smiled and laughed.

After the video went viral, the two women in the video, Litzareli Madrigal and Alondra Poullet, faced massive backlash. They were also doxxed, as many dug up private information about them - including how one of them worked at a retail company.

Litzareli Madrigal and Alondra Poullet have now spoken out and addressed the matter, talking about how “disgusting” it was on the part of the netizens to leak their personal information.

They claimed that in no way were they bullying Jackie La Bonita, and instead were just concerned as they could see themselves in the photos more than they saw LaBonita herself. The two said that this was alarming for them, as they did not want to be clicked in someone else’s picture.

The response has also split netizens on social media, with some supporting Litzareli Madrigal and Alondra Poullet and others calling them out.

What exactly did Litzareli and Alondra say in their response video to Jackie La Bonita’s accusations?

Speaking about how they felt that their video was being taken without their permission, Litzareli and Alondra said:

“If I knew that a person was filming me, I actually know if I was in her situation, where she was taking her pictures, we were not judging her, as we do it all the time. Just be considered who is in the background. Girl, we could see ourselves more than you could see yourself in your own picture.”

They also claimed that they never called the TikToker "ugly," because at that point in time, they could not see her face, as the camera was directed at the two women directly. They also accused La Bonita’s partner of taking the women’s pictures continuously.

One of them added that they don't think photobombing is the same as bullying.

Furthermore, the women also claimed that the video was "edited," adding that it has put their livelihood at risk because the world is calling them a “bully”:

“We understand how that video makes us look. It was edited very well to her advantage, but you keep in mind, we have lives, we have jobs, we have futures at stake, and this is really hurting our reputation because of something that was really taken out of context.”

Litzareli and Alondra also spoke about how celebrities should not be endorsing violence. This was a reference to Cardi B expressing her support for Jackie La Bonita by tweeting the video and saying that she would have "put that ring to use," implying that Jackie should have used the ring on her finger to hit them or engage in some sort of violence.

The women further spoke about how they never wanted to make Jackie La Bonita self-conscious, as they did not know her and had never seen her or her videos.
