REALITY STAR FIRED UP BY C-BOMB INSULT
BACHELOR In Paradise star Florence Alexandra is consulting her lawyers after being labelled a “vapid c---” by the online publication Daily Mail Australia.
Readers of the website were shocked by the c-word in the last paragraph of an article about the reality star’s social media promotion of a cosmetic eye procedure she’d had.
The article, citing reporter April Glover as author, ended: “Most people educated at high-school level know these vapid c---s only go on the shows to find mediocre Instagram fame.”
It was deleted two hours after going live at 12.39pm yesterday.
Alexandra said she was “shocked” and “disgusted” when her fans began messaging her about the article.
“That’s not a word I would ever use, even for someone I don’t like,” she said. “I’m not shallow or materialistic, which is what the journalist is suggesting. She is allowed to think that, of course, but the article was not even an opinion, she stated it as fact.
“I didn’t even know what vapid meant. Apparently I’m boring, dull and a c---. I’m talking to my lawyers.”
Channel 10 backed the 28-year-old reality star, denouncing the article as “appalling” and “disgusting”.
Shocked bosses at the Australian version of the international website deleted the offending comment, vowed to investigate and apologised for the offensive language.
“Daily Mail Australia would like to apologise ... for inappropriate language that appeared on an article,” a spokesman said.
