She added that the “very angry” and “awful responses” have also been aimed at her “crew”, as well as “attacking the breaking and street dance community in Australia, my family.”
“The energy and vitriol that people had was pretty alarming.”
In addition to the online backlash, Raygun also inspired a comedy bit on US comedian Jimmy Fallon‘s The Tonight Show, in which Rachel Dratch portrayed the Australian breakdancer.
“I don’t know whether to hug him or yell at him because – what a platform he ended up giving me, honestly,” Raygun said in response to the sketch.
