The social media personality replied by an incident and said, “I was talking to this model, and she was dating this professional athlete who one time slid in my DMs because of a company I was working with. He wanted a free merch, basically. And he just wanted my help on it. It was so innocent and like that was that. And she was talking to me; she’s like, “Oh, my boyfriend’s coming. Have you met him?” And I didn’t want to say yes because I’ve never met him in person. So, I said, “Oh yeah, he’s DMed me before,” and I didn’t even think what she was going to think about that.”

The 30-year-old added, “And I put my foot in my mouth. It came off wrong, and I was like, I didn’t mean like that, and it made it even worse. And so, yeah, I’ve had things like that. He unfollowed me, she unfollowed me and there’s just times where I’m like, you know when you’re like in the show and you’re like, “Remember that time that he said that and everyone hates you now”, and it’s like that happens to me a lot, and I don’t mean it, and I feel so bad.”
