Noah Lyles' girlfriend Junelle Bromfield has been receiving hateful comments and death threats in the past weeks from Jamaicans.

Jamaican track star Junelle Bromfield is openly crying out after receiving hateful comments and death threats and has now questioned the dignity of her people.

The experienced 400m runner has been an object of online abuse by Jamaicans before the Paris Olympics after her boyfriend Noah Lyles revealed in a podcast that he has the secrets of his rivals like Kishane Thompson, which he acquired through his partner.

Since then, Bromfield has faced a lot of despicable abuse to the extent that Lyles had to pen a statement on his social media handles taking into account what she has been through and how he's proud of her.

With the detestable comments still lingering, Bromfield penned an emotional message on her Instagram page detailing how she has been insulted from a young age and now, facing cyberbullying from Jamaicans.

"I grew up hearing black is not beautiful, Your hair is dry, your mouth is too big, your forehead too high and when you throw all those insults behind you and start walking with confidence the best compliment you get is your pretty for a black girl," started Bromfield in her post on the racial abuse she has faced.

She also came for colourist Jamaicans, posting several hateful comments she had received in the past weeks.

"I honestly thought we were past colorism in Jamaica, especially as a nation that is filled with black people. I have been getting cyberbullied for weeks and when it gets talked about I’m a liar because no Jamaican was coming for my features.

"I could go off ranting but I’m just here to tell all the girls/women on my profile that you’re beautiful no matter your shade, shape or size, and for the little black girls don’t wait on anybody to tell you that your beautiful to believe it 👸🏿❤️."

She also took her time to share screenshots of the awful comments she has received to the extent that her life is now being threatened and warned not to step into Jamaica.

Bromfield has never debunked her Jamaican roots despite dating a top American track star. Considering the rivalry between both countries, it's no surprise she's a victim and has had enough of the cyberbullying from her Caribbean nation.
