Sasha said "a series of very problematic behaviour and antics" ensued, culminating in "a threat in writing last Wednesday".
"During the span of about a week or so, Jessica basically ticked every single box of what a white woman should absolutely not do during the biggest racial uproar in history," Sasha, a single mother, said in her video, adding that the exchanges had scared her as she believed her livelihood was at risk.

Taking to Instagram once again, Jessica wrote: "The events that have transpired over the last few days have made it clear that I have work to do.

"I respect the decision of CTV and have decided to step away from my professional engagements at this time. I'm going to take this time to reflect, learn and focus on my family."

"I remain more committed than ever to support anti-racism efforts and will do everything in my power to right this wrong."
