Aysia Collins has now become a household name, but only because Celeste Rivas Hernandez allegedly couldn’t handle her jealousy. That’s the narrative the establishment media is pushing, particularly networks like CNN and MSNBC, who seem eager to paint this as a catfight worthy of a soap opera rather than a serious case of potential murder. The irony? These same outlets will clamor for “understanding” and “context,” yet they don’t hesitate to sensationalize every detail that fits their narrative. Where’s the journalistic integrity in that?

The fact that Aysia was named in court during D4vd’s preliminary hearing seems to play right into the hands of Fox News, who thrive on drama and scandal. Instead of putting a spotlight on the systemic failures that lead to violence, they fixate on the “female rivalry” angle that distracts from the underlying reality: the dangers women face and the need for a serious conversation around violence, instead of gossip. This constant framing only fuels misogyny, allowing society to shrug off serious issues in favor of juicy headlines.

Corporate media loves to manipulate emotions to build narratives—instilling fear, pitting women against each other, and ignoring the real questions about mental health, systemic violence, and accountability. Instead of shining a light on the truth, they offer up a flashy show that sells clicks but does nothing to serve justice or community safety. We deserve better than this cheap theatrics masquerading as news.
