Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) newbie Diana Jenkins has apologized for the "racially insensitive" remark that she made towards a black woman who runs a Bravo fan account, leaving fans upset.
Instagrammer Kristen Dionne shared an old and recent picture of Jenkins, pointing out how different her face looks in both the pictures. The reality star then responded:
"It can't feel good being a Black content creator."
RHOBH fans immediately responded to her post, with many calling her comments racist and asking the network to remove her from the show.
All about RHOBH Diana Jenkins's apology
The 49-year-old came under fire on Thursday after the she got into a heated disagreement with a Bravo fan account called @philly.diva. A black woman named Kristen Dionne runs this Instagram account. Jenkins has now apologized to @philly.diva for her remarks, saying that she was unaware of the term and that she had copied the term from somewhere else.
Dionne shared an old and new image of Jenkins on her account, which was taken years apart. Emphasizing the difference in the pictures, Kristen wrote:
The founder, chairwoman, and CEO of drink and lifestyle company Neuro Brands saw the post and decided to share her disapproval. She replied:
After a few more heated comments, Jenkins responded with this:
“It can’t feel good being a Black content creator.”
The reality star’s comment was immediately noticed by Bravo fans, who criticized her. Jenkins apologized for her actions, but Dionne claims she never received an apology because Jenkins allegedly blocked her.
Dionne even wondered why the reality-show star targeted her account, which only has a few thousand followers, and not those of the “white creators that have posted the same picture with FAR MORE FOLLOWERS,” as per Page Six.
Jenkins has since unblocked her. She informed the same via Twitter.
