Makena who prefers to be addressed as 'they' said their friends and family were judged, criticized and bullied because of the relationship that ended in drama.
"Not once have they lost sight of the reasons why we are connected. Not once have they lost sight of our shared values, not once have they lost sight of the mutual love and respect between us," they wrote on Instagram.
They added that they’re choosing to be bold through the whole drama and remain true to themselves forever.
Makena also intimated that the relationship ended in a little toxic as third parties were involved in something they said was highly unnecessary.
"When people are dragged in “as evidence” it’s more about tarnishing their names. At the level that people are being dragged into what seems like a personal dispute, it’s more about being right at all costs," they wrote.
Makena further stated that it hurt them to see loved ones getting attacked over the issue.
"This is the blessing and the burden of being bold when you look at people and see them for who they truly are but still send them love and light through the attack.
This is not the time to retreat to the closet, but instead the time to double down and acknowledge that there is a lot of work ahead - for us, for those behind us, for those unborn.
We are significant which is why there is so much drama. If we were not making society raise their consciousness and stand in their own truth - whatever that may be - there would be no drama. So this attention, although hurtful, is in itself a statement. We are being seen and heard! So I call upon you to continue to be bold," Makena said.
