Amid the backlash, Alannah’s friend Nick Rogers also stepped in.

And we all know with this AI and everything like that. it could be very easy for these types of scenarios to be manipulated.”.
Still, Nick said he couldn’t definitively confirm what was being said in the video. “I looked at the video myself, and I cannot tell whether she is saying the N-word or not,” he explained. He acknowledged how serious the issue is. adding. “That is a very touchy subject that I know … has been a big conversation over the years and obviously I do agree that it is very inappropriate for someone who is not a person of color or Black to use that word.”.

As Alannah’s Casa Amor chapter continues, the central question remains the same: whether the person in the resurfaced video and screenshots is truly her. For now, her father and friend are both insisting the accusations don’t match who they know.
