Exclusive: Woman French Montana Insulted on Twitter Speaks Out: 'I Put Him in This Position to Have Fame Again'

Maryam Barksdale is a 22-year-old black woman ("I am not mixed with anything?I'm proud and I'm black," she laughs) from Stockton, California. She's a waitress in nearby Elk Grove, with dreams of being an actress one day. But she got a very unexpected entr?e into the entertainment world when a tweet about rapper French Montana caused him to unleash a torrent of racially and sexually-charged invective at her in response. Montana's response became big news, with heavy criticism causing the rapper to initially double down, but eventually apologize.

What did you think when you started seeing people starting to clap back at French? What were you feeling?
I felt happy. Trust me, I saw hate but...I just felt happy about it. I can't really explain more about it. I rejoiced. And it wasn't specifically just black women. It was all women.

What do you think about French? Do you think that he's personally racist or sexist?
Um, yeah. I think of men in the industry are. He definitely would not have said that I was "nappy" if I was any other race, and everyone knows that. I think of a lot of the men in the industry are definitely misogynistic, and something needs to change.
