Rachael Lange tweets controversy explained as model spotted with Dylan O’Brien comes under fire

Model and influencer Rachael Lange has come under fire after some problematic tweets from the 25-year-old's past surfaced online.

The tweets were promptly deleted by the model after they gained traction, however, a popular account, @PopFactions, shared a screen recording of her previous posts on Saturday, January 21.

@PopFactions covered almost all of Rachael Lange's now-deleted tweets, which were deemed racist and problematic in nature by many netizens. In one of the posts, she sl*t-shamed popstar Taylor Swift, while in another she joked about being a p*dophile.

In addition to deleting all her inappropriate posts from the micro-blogging platform, the model blocked anyone who criticized her on TikTok. She eventually issued an apology.

"I am mortified and ashamed": Rachael Lange publicly apologizes for past tweets

A screen-recorded clip of a word search posted on @PopFactions' twitter account shows Rachael constantly tweeting using the N-word between the years 2013 and 2016. She is seen casually using the word in her sentences, however, there seems to be no malicious intent behind it. It apparently seemed more of a case of thoughtlessness, which itself is racist, according to internet users.

In 2016, Lange went about calling Taylor Swift a wh**e; in 2013, Lange joked about being a p*dophile and having several pictures of small black children on her phone, writing:

"I'm literally such a p*dophile oh my gosh."

On Monday, January 23, the model acknowledged the problematic tweets she made in the past, stating that she was "truly disgusted" she ever spoke in such a manner. She further explained that she is "mortified" and "ashamed" that they exist, adding:

"I want to make it abundantly clear that I take full 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."
