Jemele Hill had to get the police involved.

Jemele Hill recently made a worrying revelation that had some sports fans concerned for her safety.

She even had to get help from the authorities.

The former ESPN sports broadcaster has a knack for rubbing people the wrong way. It’s something she will likely continue to do.

However, she’s had some fake quotes attributed to her that led to disturbing threats.

Hill recently revealed via Twitter/X that she had to involve the police after she was threatened over racially-motivated comments that didn’t actually come from her.

“These completely fake quotes are extremely dangerous for a lot of reasons. Among them, is that they actually put your safety at risk. I’ve received a number of threats and have even had to involve the police because of fake quotes posted online.”

“I want the owners of these platforms to be more serious about stopping these attacks, but I think they will only understand the danger if we pursue legal action,” she added. “Who’s down?”

Lots of people sympathized with her in the comments.

“The growth of A.I. will make things even worse. A.I. needs to be regulated,” someone wrote.

“I can finally agree with you on something.  Tired of these ridiculous FB posts with what I feel is obviously AI generated garbage rage bait quotes.  It needs to stop,” said a second.

“Yes, 100%. Please do it. For the risks to you and it’s for the greater good. Elon Musk is strategically using misinformation to spread his racist fascist agenda. Zuckerberg at best is complicit on Meta’s platforms because he allows it if not strategically deploying it himself,” another comment read.

A number of other fans suggested that she is somewhat at fault due to some of the things she has actually said.

“When the fake quotes closely mirror some of the stuff you say or post on X, maybe you should reevaluate divisive comments that you’re actually putting out into the world,” one wrote.

“Imagine enough people believe a fake quote cause it is something you would say, gotta look in the mirror,” another shared.

Hill was recently under fire for criticizing a female reporter, then backtracked after learning who she was.

She has said some things over the years that folks consider outrageous. But that by no means suggests she isn’t a victim here.

We hope this all gets sorted out as soon as possible.
