Influencer apologizes for past racist tweets during her honeymoon 2023

TikTok star Lunden Stallings was forced to make an apology video to fans while on honeymoon with his wife after some of her past racist tweets caused a stir on Reddit.

Lunden Stallings, 26, is a TikTok star who is famous for showing off his lavish lifestyle with wife Olivia Bennett on their joint TikTok account.

However, a post about Stallings recently went viral on Reddit after someone found tweets posted by the influencer, which included her frequent use of profanity, days after she married Bennett.

The tweets appear to date from 2012 to 2014, with Stallings, a white woman, repeatedly using the n-word dozens of times in regular posts.

“There are some tweets of mine that I learned about yesterday, 10 to 12 years ago, that have resurfaced. That is not who I was as a teenager,” Stallings said in a TikTok story apology video.

She continued: “I just want to admit and realize that I am completely disgusted, embarrassed and really embarrassed about how normal it is for me to say that on Twitter and for me and my friends to address together that way or because I sing along to rap songs.

“It’s no one’s fault but mine.”

Joining in, Bennett told followers of their shared TikTok account that it was “a truly unfortunate, disgusting and ignorant mistake” her wife made.

“You’re a kid and you know nothing, it’s wrong and it’s embarrassing, it’s embarrassing,” Bennett added, saying that Stalling’s previous tweets “do not reflect [her] character” and how she and “so many people” came to know Stallings.

However, Stallings’ apology video only drew further backlash, with many saying it was inappropriate to address such a scandal through her TikTok story that would disappear after 24 hours.

Stalling and Bennett’s shared TikTok account, which has more than 701,000 followers, at the time of writing did not have any videos mentioning the apology on their profile pages.

Fans took to Reddit to discuss Lunden Stallings’ apology video

Screenshots of Stallings’ old tweets were shared in a Reddit post, quickly receiving dozens of comments and upvotes.

One person commented on the post and said: “She is old enough to know better, along with the fact that she has had HUNDREDS of legitimate tweets containing the N-word.”

“I’m so shocked,” a second person wrote.

Another said: “This is so despicable. I have never heard of her before but this person must be canceled on all platforms and held accountable.”
