Since Sam Smith announced her gender identity a few years ago, she denounces personal persecution in the form of insults which has worsened in recent months since the success of Impious.

Something more “relaxed” was his presence on the stage of the Brit Awards 2023 but not for this reason that he has ceased to receive much of the protests that are increasingly turning into insults, many of which are very serious.
This was the case of one of his last public appearances. Sam Smith was walking quietly in a park in New York when a woman decided to drop all sorts of insults, each more serious than the next.
“You’re going to burn in hell. Sam Smith you’re going to rot in hell, you demonic bastard. Leave the children alone, bastard. Sam Smith is a pedophile, a corrupt minor, a bastard.” him.
Obviously Sam Smith continues walking without paying the slightest attention to a woman who seems visibly crazy and in front of whom a confrontation could have been worse for her own safety.
