Azealia Banks has reportedly launched a GoFundMe campaign in order to cover the costs of suing actor Russell Crowe. Back in 2016 Banks was involved in an incident with Crowe who supposedly spat on her at a party. She spells out much of it in the fundraiser's bio which reads:
"Russell Crowe spit on me at a party in 2016 and denied it, had a group of people gaslight me causing irreparable damage to my acting career and my reputation as well as loads of emotional damage. Whatever money comes of this will be donated to ocean clean up charities."
She continued, "This isn’t about a big payday for me, it’s about letting the world know that black women are victims to the same sort of disgusting violence men in Hollywood deal out to women and it’s important to send a message that black women also deserve justice and will get justice in these situations."
The campaign has raised a little over $2,000 of the $100,000 goal. She concluded her write up for the fundraiser with:
"If I were a white singer he wouldn’t have even thought about laying a finger on me. So many things like this happen in the entertainment industry and it’s time that ALL these perpetrators get reprimanded so they STOP this violent behavior."
