Uriel, who is an aunt to teenage girls, said the incident brought back painful memories of her own teenage years. She recalled how, at just 14, she faced unwanted attention from older men because of her early physical development—experiences that left her feeling unsafe and uncomfortable.
“I haven’t been able to sleep properly,” she revealed. “How is it that the alleged rape of a minor has become a joke? A trending topic? A clout-chasing opportunity?”
The chef and media personality described her reaction as a mix of rage and heartbreak, adding that Darlington’s comments triggered flashbacks she wasn’t prepared for. She said she felt violated on behalf of the girl he spoke about and condemned the idea of using a minor’s innocence for entertainment.
“Speed, you messed up. Badly,” she wrote. “This will forever stain your name. The innocence of a girl child is not for entertainment. It’s not content. It’s not a joke.”
Uriel’s statement has added fuel to the growing outrage against Speed Darlington, with many social media users calling for serious consequences and greater sensitivity from public figures when addressing topics involving children and abuse.
