"We do however like to reiterate that Bianca has grown so much from who she was as a teenager, and whilst we are heartbroken about her childhood ignorance the backlash, we are proud of the change since then," statement from her SYNC modelling agency read.
During the day she decided to tweet an apology which was rejected by many users because they had expected that she deals with racist. Her statement fell short of that.
Just moments after her apology, her former schoolmate dropped yet another bomb when she revealed that Bianca was racist even back in high school. She alleged that she referred to black students using the K***** word.
As part of her entry to Miss SA competition, she posted her virtual Miss SA entry on Twitter platform on Saturday where she detailed why she thinks she is the next winner. It is that tweet which won her fame which was short-lived.
Twitter users started digging her past and her racist remarks started surfacing before she could delete them.
In her apology, Schoombee said that she had dealt with her past and prayer helped her in that. She further stated that she is is now using social media platforms to connect with her friends.
