Lunden posted an apology video after old racist tweets resurfaced, saying she was “completely and utterly disgusted and ashamed” by how she spoke on Twitter in the past.

What was said

  • She said the tweets were from when she was a teenager and said they were not reflective of who she is now.
  • In the apology, she said the way she had talked with friends online was “normal” for her back then, but that she was embarrassed and ashamed of it.
  • Reports say the resurfaced tweets included repeated use of racial slurs.

Context

The controversy broke after screenshots of old tweets circulated online, and she addressed it in a TikTok story with Olivia beside her. The apology itself drew more criticism because it was posted to stories rather than a permanent feed post.
