Now he’s having charges pressed by another lady for harassment. Moral: DON’T TOUCH anyone uninvited. ESPECIALLY not this black woman’s hair. — Ava DuVernay (@AVAETC) June 13, 2015

Gosh. Thanx for all the good wishes. I’m more than fine. Way, way worse is happening in the world. I’m just pissed about this train! Dammit! — Ava DuVernay (@AVAETC) June 13, 2015

Well the Natural Hair community definitely isn’t taking a liking to their hair being touched anymore. What do you think? Were the charges pressed necessary?
