‘The Backlash On This Is Heavy’: Cara Delevingne Forced To Defend Herself After Posting This Instagram Pic

She had to clarify her message.

Model-turned-writer Cara Delevingne has come under fire for her recent Instagram post. Cara, who is writing a book, posted a meme that reads: โ€œOne girl loved reading so much, she forgot to take a selfieโ€ and was instantly met with a tonne of criticism from fans who thought she was accusing self-takers of being vain and vapid.

So harsh was the backlash, that Cara later had to clarify her message and change the image’s caption.


Updating fans she wrote, โ€œWow! The backlash on this picture is heavy!! I am not trying to say that I am better than anyone. It’s a nice reminder to me and to anyone. The power of getting lost in a book.โ€

What do you make of Cara’s meme? Inflammatory or harmless?
