After referring to Sam Smith as “grotesque” for their performance in the contentious music video for their new song “I’m Not Here to Make Friends,” broadcaster Dominique Samuels has come under heavy fire. The song was made available by the British singer-songwriter as part of their fourth album, “Gloria,” on Saturday, January 28. The musician came out as non-binary in 2019 and uses pronouns that are not gender-specific.
Who is Dominique Samuels?

She recently graduated from the University of York with a degree in politics with international relations.

The political analyst, 23, came to Twitter to write a piece in which she called out the singer of “Unholy” and made fun of the entertainment business as she thought back on the music video. “Sam Smith is a perfect example of what degenerate Hollywood culture does to people. It makes celebrities vulgar, hyper-sexualized, and obsessed with wearing their sexuality like a costume and shoving it in everyone’s face. And to make matters worse, kids look up to this man!” she wrote on January 29th, Sunday.

Can I just say I used to love Sam Smith when he made actual music.
Since then, he’s become frankly grotesque, cheapened his talent and turned into a complete joke. Why isn’t somebody close to him telling him he looks terrible?

Samuels, who has been featured on BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Sky News, stated in a subsequent post that she enjoyed listening to Smith but that “he” has since devalued his skills. “Can I just say I used to love Sam Smith when he made actual music? Since then, he’s become frankly grotesque, cheapened his talent, and turned into a complete joke. Why isn’t somebody close to him telling him he looks terrible?” she added. “I think the same of Madonna, by the way. She’s become utterly grotesque and actually quite sinister. I’m not saying this because Sam Smith is ‘nonbinary’.”
