Miguel is drawing a hard line around his family’s privacy.
The Grammy-winning R&B singer has spoken out about what he says has been a difficult year for his loved ones, alleging that his family has faced racism, harassment, stalking, privacy invasions and false accusations.
Miguel also said his wife, Margaret Zhang, has recently been subjected to racist and anti-Asian attacks. He did not name Zhang directly in the statement, but his comments came as the couple prepares to welcome their second child.
The singer emphasized that public criticism is one thing, but targeting family members and children crosses a different line.
“Racism, threats, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and targeting of children are abuse,” Miguel wrote. “Not opinion.”
He acknowledged that people are free to have opinions about him, his music and his career. But he argued that criticism cannot be used to justify personal attacks against his loved ones.
“It doesn’t become acceptable because someone dresses it up as criticism, fandom, speculation, or ‘concern,’” he wrote.
Miguel also said his family has already pursued legal remedies over some incidents and warned that legal action remains an option.
He did not identify the individuals involved or provide details about the specific allegations. As a result, the claims remain allegations from Miguel’s account, with no additional details about the alleged incidents provided in the supplied material.
The comments arrive during a major moment for Miguel and Zhang, who have largely kept their family life out of the spotlight.
The couple welcomed their first child together nearly two years ago. In August, Zhang appeared with Miguel at the HollyShorts Film Festival in Los Angeles, where she debuted her growing baby bump.
That appearance publicly confirmed that the couple is expecting their second child. They have not disclosed the baby’s sex or due date.
The renewed attention surrounding the pregnancy appears to have made the couple’s privacy an even bigger concern for Miguel.
He also claimed that his child has been subjected to abusive comments, making the protection of his children a central part of his statement.
For Miguel, the issue is not simply about unwanted celebrity attention. His message is that public interest has limits when it reaches his wife and children.
With another baby on the way, the singer is making that boundary unmistakably clear: fame may invite scrutiny, but he says his family should not have to surrender its privacy in the process.
