‘It was meant to be light-hearted banter’

“I’ve decided to take down my recent video as it seems it was misunderstood by some. It was meant to be light-hearted banter, but I respect that not everyone saw it that way. However, it’s been quite upsetting to receive not just negativity, but also a few threat messages over it,” she wrote on Instagram.

She added: "I'm not removing the video because I believe I did something wrong, but because I respect my brother and his team, and I don't want this space to turn into one filled with negativity. Let's try to be a little kinder and more understanding with each other."

"It was just a game, and I don't understand the reason behind hate. The video was for fun, and I was supporting my brother. I will continue doing it—no hate for any franchise. Everyone should have taken it sportingly," she added further.
