She uploaded apology in February 12, citing that she was ashamed of the racist thetoric and derogatory language.

Since then, the apology video was set private.

Ableist Allegations Against People with Service Dogs

In May 22, 2021, she posted a TikTok video titled Illegal Life Advice.

In the video, she said, “If a service dog ever approaches you but they’re alone, that means that their owner’s in trouble and they probably can’t move. So you should follow them because you’ll get a free wallet.”

Service dog is a specifically trained animal to help people with disabilities when they experience medical emergencies, such as injury, seizure, fall, diabetic episode, and more. In these cases, the the dog will assist them when cued by the question “where?” or “what?”

Thus, some people felt that the video is harmful and ableist.

“There is a quote that my dad has always said for years and even had written above our garage door when I was a kid. “Much is never dared because it seems hard, much seems hard because it is never dared “.”

“The main thing that drives me to succeed and keeps me motivated day today is my younger sibling. I have 11 siblings in total, 9 of which are younger than me. I am the oldest sister so I feel like it’s necessary for me to do something big and to be a role model for them.”
