All enjoyable and cute, proper?? WRONG.
Disappointingly, this seemingly candy couple have been uncovered on Reddit for his or her shady previous — one which’s eerily much like that of Bachelor star Rachael Kirkconnell. You see, in line with resurfaced photographs from Campbell’s social media, she attended The University of Mississippi, and was seen partying at one level in a number of antebellum and plantation themed (sure, as in f**king slavery) frat events.

Taking to Instagram after the backlash, Pookie posted a prolonged Stories caption, writing:
“As some of you may have seen, some old photos of mine recently resurfaced. At the time these photos were taken, I was 20. I didn’t fully understand the impact of my actions the way I do now, 12 years later. I fully apologize for the harm this may have caused for some and take full responsibility.”
Twenty?? That’s lots sufficiently old to know dressing up as a SLAVE OWNER isn’t OK!! Children can comprehend that a lot! Plus, she’s claiming this was 12 years in the past in 2012 and all mentioned and performed with, however what about all these photographs from one other occasion years later the place the pair dressed as Donald and Melania Trump?? She went on to say:
“Jett and I love sharing our lives with you all and getting to know our community on such an intimate level. Because we live our lives so publicly, everything is on the internet, even my mistakes. We hope to continue to bring you with us on our journey as we continue to learn and grow.”
See her full assertion (under):
It’s nice she’s admitting fault and taking duty for what she did. But the lame excuses she’s utilizing has left a nasty style in plenty of her viewers’ mouths. On one Reddit put up discussing the couple, issues appear fairly divided:
“I don’t get how TikTok thinks this is someone to idolize?”
“Not defending this but old south parties used to happen like yearly at VERY southern schools like bama and ole miss. They only banned them within like the past 8-10 ish years. Gross regardless but homegirl was there to get drunk.”
“5th generation southerner here. I don’t care if it’s common, old south parties are morally reprehensible. There are literally thousands of other ways to get drunk in college without cosplaying as a slave owner.”
“Why are we digging up her past? This was over 10 years ago”
“‘Everyone at sec schools did this theme’…. Okay so not a single person had the mental capacity to think hey a slavery theme isn’t cool!?!”
There is completely no excuse for a majority of these events, a lot much less attending a number of of them after which years later suggesting you have been simply being younger and silly. Being younger and making unhealthy choices is one factor, however come on…
What do U consider her apology, Perezcious readers?
