TheBachelor contestant Victoria Fuller is apologizing after she came under fire for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt for a fishing campaign.
What many fans likely don’t know is that the contestant actually addressed the controversial marlin campaign shoot a month ago via Instagram.
“Hello bachelor clues & followers! It would be nice for you to gather all the facts before jumping to bash someone,”on a post shared by Instagram user Bachelor Clues on January 3, that showed her bio and past photo shoot. “The company ‘We Love Marlins’ is in support of catching white, blue, & black marlins & releasing them back into the wild.”
She added: “In regards to a sensitive topic, I come from a very diverse background & am in support of all races! Virginia Beach is a VERY large fishing town where Marlin tournaments are held every year! Glad to clear this up.”After another Instagram user commented, “regardless of the fishing connection it’s really racist,” Fuller again wrote back explaining herself. “I’m sorry if you or anyone else’s feelings were hurt. That was never my intention,” she replied.
The Virginia Beach native added: “I definitely see how this could be offensive. I apologize immensely it was never my intention to lessen this matter.”Even though the campaign was for Marlin Lives Matter, the messaging on the shirt and its association with racism was too much forto overlook, which resulted in Fuller’s cover not being promoted on the magazine’s site.
