i’m actually going to k myself…
@DojaCat @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp please elaborate to me why i was allowed to win this contest and i discussed my stan account and being blocked by her in my application and it was approved by your icons staff, just for them to kick me out the event.
i spent HUNDREDS on bus tickets, merch, an airbnb, ubers, and more just to partake in an opportunity that would’ve been a dream experience for me. if at any time being blocked was a red flag, you shouldn’t have allowed me to spend hundreds on this trip.
btw, i read through the entire 11 pages of the airbnb icons rules and i followed every additional one that came from doja’s team. just for the icons staff to come up with new ones at the check-in area.
these were the icons rules sent to us when applying and confirming our reservation: https://t.co/OT3ieijBVb
note: the only thing that’s emphasized is “no phones.”
i also attached a screenshot of the texts sent YESTERDAY with more info from doja’s team:
things to note:
1. it said that tote bags were allowed, but they confiscated my tote.
2. it did not mention that gifts, letters, and getting autographs weren’t allowed. but when i brought my stuff, not only did they confiscate it, but they also read the letter i wrote for doja.
my bag had actually already been searched and cleared by another security before someone else confiscated it. so there’s also confusion on the rules amongst their team itself !!!
this is my letter in full:
it feels like a breach of privacy for them to read through my letter. sure, go through the other stuff but you don’t have to read it. maybe put that in your rules airbnb if that’s something they’re allowed to do.
they were mad about the part i wrote about being blocked and they were mad that i printed out the blocked screenshot for her to sign, even though that’s something she’s signed before and finds funny.
the reason i’m blocked is also a stupid, unserious reason and i stand by that.
everyone has a least favorite song on a given album, mine happens to be piss from claude, but that doesn’t mean i think it’s bad. plus, i was joking because that’s the kind of person doja is.
for her security not to ask for clarity before upright kicking me out is absurd.
truly the icons staff do not know who doja cat is as a person. that might be a red flag for other artists, but not for doja. i swear they don’t understand doja’s humor.
i want to clarify that i am not upset at doja, i mean clearly. after being blocked, i was still a stan. i still supported her, defended her, and streamed her music. i never turned on her and still won’t after this mishap. she is tagged in hopes that this thread reaches her.
in hopes that she discusses this with her security. in hopes that this misunderstanding doesn’t happen with another fan. in hopes that maybe things could be made better for me. that i could meet doja. but overall, in hopes that airbnb refunds me for E V E R Y T H I N G !!!
i hope one day when i make it out there (because i will) that me and doja can laugh about this. but laughter is the very last thing that i’m doing right now. but this isn’t the end, though it feels like it.
this is what i brought:
1. a gift for doja that includes her favorite snacks, a terrible painting that i made her, and a folder with a heartfelt letter and songs that i wrote for her.
2. i wanted to bring in a tote that had 3 vinyls for her to sign.
heartbroken is an understatement. i was whisked away before the cocktails part. i will describe in another thread everything that happened before i was kicked out (and after, i’ll get the deets on that shortly). but this is all i have to remember the event:
to make matters worse, after i was shuttled back to the parking lot, one of the icons employees sat there basically invalidating my feelings and trying to get me not to make this very thread. i’m sorry but i was wronged and i’m going to put it on BLAST.
also not to mention, it hurts just a little bit more knowing that a lot of the people there were casual fans who could barely name a song on “amala.” and i, who can name her entire unreleased discography, was kicked out.
and now i contemplate if i just lie to everyone irl that i attended because i told EVERYONE i was meeting doja. do i lie to my parents too because they will be PISSED not only at me, but everyone. telling them will only make ME feel worse. i should just save everyone the trouble.
i have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. all of this is not going over well with me. i was supposed to be having a fun night and i’m supposed to go out to clubs/bars with some of the other people. and now my whole night is ruined. i’m devastated.
and i fear stupid stan twitter will use this as a gotcha moment. or say “nobody’s reading all dat.” i was wronged and i’m allowed to speak out about it like everyone else does when they’re wronged.
anywho, that’s it for now until the people in there get back shortly and tell me more about what i missed. sorry this was so long, but thx for reading. can y’all please tag @DojaCat, @Airbnb, & @AirbnbHelp for me? i am beyond heartbroken. and so is my wallet. 💔
