Touched a nerve?

In other words, it’s something we feel strongly or are sensitive about.

Let’s read a few media examples, all recent, to make certain:

1. Bernice Burgos, doesn’t play games when it comes to her heart. After she found out that her man, T.I., 36, has been pulling double duty between her and his ex, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 41, she was pissed! “Bernice had no idea T.I. was still seeing Tiny the way he is,” a friend of Bernice’s told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He totally lied to her and she’s not taking it well,” her friend said. Ultimately, “Bernice feels like he‘s been playing her and it really hit a nerve.” Yikes.

Although Bernice is furious and clearly hurt by T.I. [hence her Instagram rant], she knows her worth. “Bernice knows she deserves to be treated better than this and she’s ready to find a new man,” her friend admitted. Damn Bernice, you move fast, girl! And, get this tea — Bernice has got her sights set on none other than, Chris Brown, 28! She must really love music…

2. Kevin Durant says Colin Kaepernick’s protests during the U.S. national anthem “touched a nerve” in society and sparked a national conversation about issues such as racial equality, the Golden State player told the San Jose Mercury News.

In an interview published on Monday, Durant said he admired the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback for taking the stance, despite the backlash it provoked.
