I wish people had been nicer to her. She was clearly cast while they were looking for a young Halle berry and she did her best.

I still remember what she tweeted when Fox was offered for sale to Disney...

Interestingly, people are always harder on POC actors.

for some... unknown reason.

yeah a lot of x-fans often miss the point of the story sadly

She wasn't a very good Storm as well, and appeared in bad X-Men films.

She’s still a person

You do know actors/public figures get criticism everyday? Also she was part of the FoX-Men franchise, and during the years when she was part of it, FoX-Men wasn't very popular. If there was personal attack towards her, then too bad, but a lot of criticism she got was also based her on work as Storm. Then her saying she wasn't going to lose any job/opportunity when Fox was being sold to Disney, when it practically killed the franchise she was in, wasn't a very smart thing to say online.
