Star’s social media rant goes viral after VERY embarrassing mistake
Jaime King might be feeling a bit morto today!
The model and actress, who is currently expecting her second child with her husband Kyle Newman, got very angry on Instagram last night… but it was all down to a mix-up about the word "ho."
All the drama kicked off when Jaime posted a picture of a bottle of Fiji water, the celebrity favourite, reminding pregnant women to keep hydrated.
A commenter named Jessica took issue with the picture of the high-priced bottled water, writing, "I'm sure the people of fiji would like fiji water too but unfortunately they can't have any because some big business decided that they now own the water in fiji. But hey ho, keep paying top dollar for those bottles of water, as long as oppression isn't on your door step, am i right?"
Jaime immediately took issue with the use of the word "ho" and replied to the comment with an EPIC rant, saying, "Dear Jessica- an open letter to your open assault. Apparently, I am a ho. Oppression is not at my doorstep according to this you. (Ironically, I grew up with my father taking care of the tenements and section 8 housing, collecting quarters out of washing machines and cleaning broken toilets) there are many forms of oppression. Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and beyond."
The rant continued by telling Jessica to "take responsibility" for her words, with Jaime saying the comment deserved "instant karma."
However, as many of the model's other followers pointed out, it's highly likely Jessica meant "hey ho" as an informal, non-offensive greeting.
"'Hey ho' is a British phrase to say like 'Ah well' @jaime_king she wasn't calling you a ho," wrote one follower. "I know it doesn't make her post any less ignorant. Just so you know it wasn't as mean/personal as it probably came across xo."
Jaime then quickly deleted the entire post to avoid any further confusion, and took to Twitter to express a semi-apology:
Social media may b the downfall of all or the love that connects us. I wish we all spoke the same language & I am sad & sorry when we don't.
