Screenshots of the racist tweets made by Elle Darby 10 years ago: The situation of Elle Darby today should teach us that we must be circumspect about the comments we make on social media.
She made some damning comments on Twitter 10 years ago. 10-years-after, those tweets are coming back to haunt her very beautiful career and brand.
After an alarm was raised on her old tweets, her Twitter account with over 10,000 followers has been disabled.
In the disappointing tweets, Elle Darby said she hated polish people and Indians really.
In another tweet, she used the F word on polish people.
Then she again went haywire on labrador retrievers calling them ugly, spiteful, and mongrel cats. Some of the comments are too disappointing to write on. Just look at the screenshots below:
After all these old tweets have been uncovered, fans have since been lambasting Elle Darby.
Elle Darby Apology
Following the backlash, Elle Darby has taken to her Youtube channel to issue an apology.
In a video posted on her Youtube channel, she said:
“I’ve tried this video so many times and this so many times is not good enough because…I am sorry… the tweets I made in 2011 was so disgusting… they were racist, they were fatphobic, they were homophobic, there were enabling words in them, I am ashamed and disgusted in myself.
There is no one person on this earth that hates me more than I do right now. And the pain I know I have caused to so many of you eats me up. To know that I was someone you conceded a great friend. And his image of me is now tainted by someone who I don’t even recognize myself to have had being. Sorry doesn’t cut it… I am sorry. I hope you can see through my entire time on Youtube that this is not the person I am today. It is not the person I was last year. It is not the person I am.
This is the most hurtful thing I could have done to so many of you. And I know it feels very fresh because it just come out. And you may now see me with that same mindset. And those same thoughts. And I know those disgusting words and awful tweets are always going to be associated with my name.
And I wish I can do something to take that back, to change that, but, unfortunately, the only thing I can do is to continue bettering myself as I have done over the past 10 years. Since I made those tweets, I have grown from a girl to a woman I have lived more life. I have experienced more things. And I have had better education. My family, my son, my friends… my entire team, everyone that has ever watched and supported me on here, I have disappointed everybody.
“I will take a little bit of time offline just to further reflect on everything that has happened and to process a situation that I don’t think I will ever forgive myself for”, she added.
