Twitter, why are you not showing Loot some Love?

Presenter of the SABC1 music show ‘Live Amp’, Luthando ‘Lootlove’ Shosha, says her job taught her to have a thick skin in order to survive; useful traits to ward off Twitter trolls.

During an interview with Previdar magazine, Loot, as she is affectionately known, spoke about the joys and frustrations of her career as a TV and radio personality.

Loot revealed her personal frustrations with her growing popularity online and in public, saying: "Twitter is quite rough, if they are not calling me a giraffe, they are calling me a pine tree or an ostrich.”

“It also stems from the fact that the person I work with is shorter than me, and then when I wear high heels I become taller than the usual. It’s gone from me being annoyed by it to actually not caring anymore because with twitter people, they target your emotions to get a reaction from you," she added.

Speaking about her job, she said: “It’s really great at certain moments; terrible on certain moments. There is no middle ground, but more than anything it teaches you about yourself – what you can handle and what you can’t. When they say you need to have a thick skin, they really mean it.”

Seriously, Twitter, we're ashamed of you- of all the people to be hating on, why Loot Love?
