In a since deleted post, the designer insinuated that she was the “Becky with the good hair” that Bey sang about in “Sorry”. The past 48-hours have apparently been rough for Rachel who not only had her social media mentions inundated with lemon emojis, she was also accused of allegedly being a home wrecker and having an affair with Jay-Z.
Rachel responded by accusing the internet of “bullying” her and she’s since made her Instagram page private.
The stings of the BeyHive must still hurt because Rachel canceled a scheduled speaking engagement because of a “personal emergency”.
According to TheYBF, she was supposed to speak at the Newhouse Conference about how creatively branding yourself can be a major source of income. Ironically, Rachel may loose money and tarnish her brand if she continues to be seen as a home wrecker. We wonder how she and her team are going to move past this scandal?
Isn’t crazy how one Instagram post can seemingly change your life?
