Harvard Grad Fired Over TikTok Video Saying She’d Stab ‘All Lives Matter’ Supporters
Recent Harvard grad, Claira Janover, has been fired over a TikTok video she made, issuing a warning to followers that she’d stab the next person who told her “all lives matter.” Janover, who received a degree in May in government and psychology, went viral after threatening to attack anyone with “the nerve, the sheer entitled caucasity to say ‘all lives matter.'”
She adds, “I’ma stab you, and while you’re struggling and bleeding out, I’ma show you my paper cut and say, ‘My cut matters too.'” Subsequently, many called for her arrest as violent speech, while others sent her death and rape threats. After clarifying her remarks as “clearly [an] analogous joke,” she updated “people are reporting me for domestic terrorism, tagging the FBI, Harvard, Cambridge police.” She adds, “Apparently, I’m threatening the lives of people — unlike cops, obviously.”
However, it didn’t end there. Janover was then fired from her job at Deloitte over her TikTok video, in which she states she was “standing up for #BlackLivesMatter.” She’s since started a GoFundMe, as she’s “now unemployed and at great financial and physical risk.” With a goal of $10,000, the fund has already raised over $6,100 at the time of publishing this article.

Despite the death, rape, expulsion, and firing threats I got today…I am so grateful for everyone who has stood by, supported, & defended me and #BlackLivesMattter. I will not be silenced, shamed, or threatened into silence by bigoted trump fans who don’t understand analogies

Deloitte just fired me after my tiktoks standing up for #BlackLivesMatter were posted by popular trump twitter accts. Despite its stance against racism the online slander campain of violence and scare tactics towards me were too powerful for the company.
