31-year-old influential man comes under fire after post resurfaced
TikTok star Tinx, real name Christina Najjar, has issued a lengthy apology after her previous scathing tweets surfaced in which she mocked Kim Kardashian and Tori Spelling.
The 31-year-old influencer came under fire after the post re-emerged, describing Kim as 'so fat', and questioning the decision behind her 2014 Vogue magazine cover.
The TikTok star branded Tori 'really ugly and pathetic' in another post - which has since been all but deleted.
Taking to Instagram, Tinx shared a lengthy apology, insisting that she was 'extremely lost' at the time.
She wrote: 'About 10 years ago I sent some really bad, mean, horrible tweets. I called people that I never got fat, pathetic and ugly. I even called Kim Kardashian fat which is ionic because she is my number one idol and person that I look up to.
'I always say if you're not crying over yourself a year ago you're not growing. I'm more than crying / I'm embarrassed and I want to take accountability,' she began.
'Friends I am going to own it and be direct with you. I really needed to deliberate about what I wanted to say so it wasn't just a reaction.
'I am embarrassed and ashamed when I read the tweets back. They're mean and I'm not a mean enthusiast - but I used to be. Let us tell you about the girl who wrote those tweets. I was 21 and deeply, deeply insecure. I hated myself and had a bad relationship with my body.'
'I was too lost,' she continued. 'I've told you guys about it before. So much about getting lost and wanting to find a passion and wanting to find my voice. So I tried on several hats, one of which was a mean tweeter for laughs. And it's not funny at all.
'Only insecure people punch. And only deeply insecure people try to make fun of others. Being mean isn't funny, it's just plain mean.'
'Hurt people hurt people and I know my words hurt,' she concluded the post. 'If you're chasing after me even a little bit, you know they're not representative of who I am.'
