Lady V accused in Insta race storm

SHE was a notorious wild child of the 1990s but it seems that Lady Victoria Hervey may have found herself in her biggest scrape yet. The former It Girl is at the centre of a race storm amid the Black Lives Matter protests after an image of a defaced statue was posted on her Instagram account with the caption: ‘F*** BLM.’

The post prompted a huge backlash led by Team GB heptathlon star Louise Hazel, while Lady V insists she never wrote the explosive comment and claims that her social media account was hacked.

The photograph featured a 130-year-old statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, which has become a focal point for antiracism protesters in recent weeks. The caption on Lady V’s Insta page read: ‘Don’t ever tell me this i s acceptable behaviour. F*** BLM.’

The former Christian Dior model, the daughter of the Marquess and Marchioness of Bristol, was quick to take down the post but not before an exchange of private messages with Commonwealth gold medal-winner Louise, who then shared the conversation with her 57,000 followers. In the exchange, Louise said: ‘Statues can be replaced – lives can’t.’

The 4 3 - y e a r- o l d socialite, right, who now lives in Los Angeles, protested with: ‘Honey I got hacked!!! Would never have put that up. It said f*** BLM? Crazy.’

But so far, Lady V, who once dated Prince A n d r e w, has refused to publicly lay the blame on hackers and has instead blocked people from commenting on her Instagram account because of t he abuse she was receiving. Her spokesman said: ‘She was hacked and because she did not write this, she did not feel there was any reason to write a statement [ saying she had been hacked]. Vict oria i s a supporter of Black Lives Matter and her friends know that.’
