Over the past few days, one young woman,identified as Mary, also known online as Diamond Queen has dominated social media conversations even more than Wendy Shay’s own Shay Concert at the West Hills Mall. And unfortunately, it is for all the wrong reasons.
A viral video captured her in a green jumpsuit at the front row of the concert, leaning against the metal barrier while two different men separately and at different times came behind her in highly inappropriate ways. The videos were uncomfortable and disturbing to watch. Her facial expressions and overall posture left many viewers genuinely alarmed. In one clip, she was even heard saying her waist beads had been torn.
Beyond Mary’s incident, the videos circulating from the event exposed another major issue: poor crowd control. Several attendees appeared visibly uncomfortable, squeezed, or overwhelmed. One lady even claimed her phone was stolen in the chaos. These scenes should serve as a serious reminder to event organizers that proper security, spacing, and crowd management are not optional,they are essential.
Back to Mary:
As expected, the footage triggered a wave of backlash and speculation, including allegations that the men had punched a hole behind Mary’s outfit to allow access claims she has since denied, showing the intact jumpsuit during interviews.
Mary insists nothing sexual occurred. According to her, pepper spray in the crowd made her weak, which she claims explains her facial reaction.
Mary has clarified that she didn’t know either of the two men before the concert and has strongly debunked claims that they had sex with her at the event. However, what is worrying is that she does not seem to view what happened as harassment or inappropriate touching. Instead, she appears unfazed by the negative implications and more excited about the attention. She openly admits that her social media following has increased and proudly mentions receiving DMs from “white men.” The green jumpsuit that sparked the uproar has now become her identity,her new “signature look.”
In the middle of all this noise, she was lucky enough to have a video call with her role model, Wendy Shay. With calm wisdom, Wendy advised Mary to carry herself well as a woman and to alert security whenever she feels uncomfortable in public spaces. Wendy also asked what Mary does for a living. Mary explained that she used to sell bags but stopped because business was slow, and that she now works with a manager at his media outlet. When Wendy generously asked what she would like to do so she could assist her financially, Mary’s response was shocking:
“I want to follow you everywhere.”
Wendy repeated the question for clarity,but Mary gave the same answer.
Meanwhile, one of the men from the viral video admitted in an interview that it was their first time meeting and described the whole incident as “content.”
Whether content or not, it was distasteful and crossed every line of decency.
Today, Mary is doing interviews, creating skits with men she calls her “boyfriend,” and riding on the wave of sudden fame. But the same society that pushes people to trend is the same society that will later criticise, forget, or even mock them. Fame can be sweet, but it can turn sour overnight. Ask Rashida Black Beauty. Ask many others who trended for the wrong reasons and disappeared just as quickly.
Mary may feel empowered or “hard,” but there is nothing empowering about embracing a moment that could damage her image permanently. The internet does not forget. Screenshots do not expire. If she truly wants to turn this moment into something positive, she still has time to rebrand herself, adopt some class, project dignity, and think long-term.
This is not judgment,just perspective. My two cents.
Straighten your crown, sis. Fame fades fast, but your name is forever.
