\n\tMiguel is speaking out about the harassment, threats and racism he and his family are facing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe R&B singer posted a lengthy statement to social media on Friday (Aug. 28), describing how he and his family have been subjected to racism, threats, stalking, false allegations and an invasion of privacy. He also said there have been \u201canti-Asian attacks\u201d directed at his partner Margaret Zhang, who is currently pregnant with the couple\u2019s second child.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOver the past year, my family and the people i love have been subjected to racism, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and false allegations,\u201d the Grammy-winning singer wrote. \u201cRecent racist and anti-Asian attacks directed at my partner \u2013 including comments and DMs, as well as abusive comments about my child \u2013 crossed a line that should require no explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMiguel said he understands he will be open to certain aspects of criticism when it comes to his career as a public figure but believes a line has been crossed when it seeps into his family life and private affairs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPeople can have opinions about me. about the music. about the work. I accept the realities that come with doing anything in public,\u201d he added. \u201cBut racism, threats, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and targeting of children are abuse. not opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 40-year-old continued: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t become acceptable because someone dresses it up as criticism, fandom, speculation, or \u2018concern.\u2019 responsibility also lies with organizations and individuals that knowingly amplify or enable racism, harassment, or false allegations for attention and engagement. if you participate in this behavior, you are not supporting me. you are not part of this community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cAdorn\u201d singer explained that legal action will be taken against those who continue to attack his family. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhere legal and ethical lines have been crossed, action has been and will continue to be taken,\u201d Miguel stated. \u201cTo everyone who has treated my family with kindness, dignity, and respect: we see you. we deeply appreciate you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe jarring post struck a chord with Miguel\u2019s IG following, as an outpouring of support flooded his comment section. \u201cOverwhelmed reading your comments of support loved ones, thank you,\u201d he responded. <\/p>\n

\n\tMiguel and Zhang, who is the former editor-in-chief of Vogue China<\/em>, welcomed a son, Angel, in 2024, and are expecting a second child. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn the music front, Miguel released his CAOS<\/em> album in October 2025.<\/p>\n
