The old tweets sparked outrage on social media, with many people calling for her removal from the pageant over the offending comments.
Schoombee initially tried to downplay the issue, saying she was “devastated” that someone dug up old tweets which displayed her “childhood in a negative light”. Minutes later, however, she issued an apology, explaining that the tweets she made as a 14-year-old were not a reflection of who she is today and expressing hope that the public would forgive her, as she has forgiven herself and “moved on”.SYNC Models, an agency claiming to represent Schoombee, confirmed in a tweet that the Miss SA hopeful had opted to withdraw from the competition. The agency added that it “supports her decision”.
Good riddance to a racist rubbish
🤣🤣🤣as usual, the toothless big brother is coming to lil “naughty” sister’s defense
A good lesson to be learned out of this is that, at least the Christian Religion' should close doors, bcos mostly Christians preach forgiveness but don't forgive as easily as their beloved prayer ie 'forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us'
Good for her
Good 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Black Twitter I stan 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
If u can ask a racist a simple question like,What did Black People do to You what would be the Answer?
This is the lesson that you must thinking before you post something on social media
Clearly the Schombee family forgot to teach that U reap what u saw
What u wouldn't put on the BILLBOARD...do not post it online too,coz internet doesn't forget
Good for her
