Viola Davis is admitting that she Facebook stalks her childhood bullies and hopes that those who made her miserable years ago are living miserable lives today.
One of the best ways to get back at someone is by being successful and since the actress has achieved that, from time to time she does a little Facebook stalking to see how her old foes are doing since they're probably not as good as her.
The How to Get Away With Murder actress talked about those childhood bullies and seeing what they are up to now when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday, Sept. 23.
“They all want to be my friend. I become their Facebook friends and then I stalk their pages to see if they’ve become just complete failures in life,” Davis said as the crowd laughed and cheered.
The 51-year-old talked about how she tried to stick up for herself and fight back against her bullies and told a story about how she brought a crochet needle to school one time for a bully named Stanley.
“I really didn’t stab Stanley,” she said. “I just threatened to stab Stanley.”
Apparently that worked because as Davis said, “I threatened him and he never came back at me again.”
Although she can laugh about things now, it is well documented that she had a hard time growing up as the only black family in a Rhode Island town in the 1960s.
In a previous interview with The New York Times, Davis revealed that she was chased by "eight or 10 boys, I would count them as I was running. They’d pick up stones and sticks from the side of the road and yell, ‘Ugly black n*****!’ Always those three words."
Of course nowadays she is a primetime television star and two-time Academy Award nominee so her bullies can take that!
