Emma Clair, an influencer from Australia revealed in a podcast that she had killed two cats when she was a child and the reactions were very different.
One of the brands that reacted the hardest was MCoBeauty - they announced through an online statement that they would no longer collaborate with Emma and that they "do not condone any kind of animal cruelty".
During Claiir's own podcast, "Simply Chaotic", she said:
"I killed my cat. My sister didn't speak to me for months and my mom was furious when she saw me, but yeah… I killed her. I was spinning it. It looked like a toy, a stuffed animal. And I accidentally dropped it. Then, if you really want to know more about me, I also killed my best friend's cat.”
After numerous reactions, the blogger published a statement on her social networks.
"For the people offended by my story in today's episode that I just shared... it happened 21 years ago. I was a little kid... accidents happen and you all need to calm down [...]"
She also thanked people who didn't comment negatively and "got the humor".
Emma then spoke again about the incident:
"I am well aware that the story was not light humor and in fact it is something very serious. It was not intended to appear as it did, as it was just a story from the past about an accident that happened when I was a small child , but I understand how it was viewed. I have taken time to think about my actions and I want to confirm that I have empathy for the situation and it is not something I am proud of as it hurt me and my family 21 years ago. "
Emma apologized again and asked to "remain in the past, where the event happened".
