Right after the video was online, the comment section was filled with people calling her out for her controversial methods. There were a few different comments.
The first criticism was about calling her out for not loving her skin and the natural complexion she had. People bashed her, saying she did not love herself enough.

A second group of people was concerned about her health. Many pointed out the possibility of her developing skin cancer and other kinds of skin diseases and the irreversible nature of skin bleaching.
The issue of racism and colorism was also brought to attention. Some said she was perpetuating racism by lightening her skin tone and was still influenced by colonialism.
Further, others interpreted her actions as trying to equate wearing wigs, nail polish and extensions, and eyelash extensions when they were not comparable.
Jamaicans were furious at her claims about skin bleaching being normal in their country. They said it was not true and asked her to keep Jamaica from her arguments.
She has made follow-up videos responding to some of these issues. Bonner brought wigs and nail extensions up as body modifications when responding to criticisms.
The influencer also called her critics, who themselves had body modifications and beauty-enhancing procedures, "hypocrites."
Bonner had revealed the products she used at the request of a few users. However, the video in which she showed them got deleted, and her account even got suspended for a while.
After she regained access to her TikTok, she made a video promising to try to reveal the names of the products again or at least text them to interested people on Instagram.
