Rachael Lange has apologised after a series of racist tweets from her account were unearthed

Twitter users began to search Rachael’s Twitter account against the N word and found a number of tweets including the use of the N word on multiple occasions. In one of the tweets, it reads: “When you’re trying to find a winter ball dress and the lady tells you to try the juniors department. N**** I’m 17.”

In another series of tweets from 2013, when Rachael would have been 15 years old, it says: “I’m literally such a paedophile oh my gosh.” The account then went on to tweet: “I have various pictures of small black children on my phone.”

Rachael Lange has issued an apology for the old tweets and said: “I would like to wholeheartedly apologise for past tweets of mine. I am mortified and ashamed that they exist; and am truly disgusted that I ever spoke that way. 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 fully responsibility. 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. I understand the significance that my words have and am deeply sorry for the hurt I have caused.”

The Tab has contacted Rachael Lange’s reps for comment.
