AceShowbiz - Dylan O'Brien's girlfriend Rachael Lange is showing remorse after her old inappropriate social media posts resurfaced. The SKIMS model has issued an apology for her anti-Taylor Swift, racist and pedophilic tweets.
On Monday, January 23, the girlfriend of "The Maze Runner" actor posted her apology note on Twitter, saying she was "mortified and ashamed" of her old posts. "I would like to wholeheartedly apologize for past tweets of mine. I am mortified and ashamed that they exist; and am truly disgusted that I ever spoke that way," she stated, "All I can say is that I hear you all and am sorry for the pain I've caused and contributed to."
"I want to make it abundantly clear that I take full responsibility," Rachael continued. The model of Elite Model Management NYC added, "I was extremely ignorant and while I do not remotely resonate with the things I once said, there is zero justification for my ever having said them." Concluding her message, she wrote, "I understand the significance that my words have and am deeply sorry for the hurt I have caused."
Rachael sparked outrage on the Internet after Dylan appeared to confirm their relationship by holding her hand in public while attending an event during Paris Fashion Week. After her name made headlines, fans were quick to take a look at her social media profiles, including her Twitter.
Fans then found some of Rachael's inappropriate old tweets. In 2013, Rachael wrote, "I hate Taylor swift." Then in 2016, she tweeted, "Never date a girl that plays ANY Taylor swift," and, "Taylor swift is a w****e."
Aside from her anti-Taylor tweets, fans noticed some of Rachael's racist, homo/transphobic and pedophilic posts. She often used the word "n***a" in her tweets and in September 2013, she wrote, "I'm literally such a pedophile oh my gosh." In a separate post, she even confessed, "I have various pictures of small black children on my phone."
