Woods says she still suffered bullying after the incident took on a life of its own earlier this year. During a recent interview she says:

“My little sister was bullied in school and I wanted to show her that I was bullied by the world. I understood for the first time what it’s like being a black woman — in a just society, how we can be so disrespected and nobody can really understand to that extent until you have lived it.”

Season 2 of the hit series, which premieres June 5, will see Yara Shahidi‘s character, Zoey Johnson, navigating the remainder of her sophomore year without the financial help of her father, Andre Johnson, played by Anthony Anderson, after coming clean to cheating on a final exam.
