*A Playboy model is apologizing profusely after a Snapchat she claims was meant just for her friend – a photo she secretly took of a naked woman at the gym for the sole purpose of body shaming – ended up seen by all of her followers.
Dani Mathers secretly took the woman’s photo as she was stepping into the shower. She captioned it, “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either.”
Twitter responded in force, with many suggesting she should be prosecuted for snapping the photo and posting it on line.
@DaniMathers you’re vile for that! How disgusting! U should b prosecuted, y would u even think that was ok!!!

@DaniMathers you thought it would be funny. It wasn’t. You got caught. Now you feel stupid. So you should.

Mathers deleted the Snapchat stories and apologized over the course of several tweets, that have since been deleted. She said the Snapchat was meant for her friend’s eyes only:
“I want to acknowledge my post from snapchat earlier. There is no excuse…I understand fully the magnitude of this post and that I have hurt a lot of people, women. Body shaming is not okay, and is nothing to joke about… This was meant to be a part of a private conversation that never should have happened. There are no words to describe how deeply sorry I am for hurting and offending you all. Women make my world go around, I respect women, I surround myself with women and I completely understand the magnitude of this post. Please please please know how upset I am with myself and take my word that this won’t happen again. I love and appreciate every one of you and know that everyone is beautiful in their own way… That’s what makes us all so special… I can’t undo this mistake, but I ask your forgiveness. This mistake has truly made me realize that something that can seem silly in a private conversation isn’t unnecessary. All I’ve done here is spread negativity and hate when that isn’t who I am. I chose to model because I appreciate women and their bodies, so me of all people, should never make light of another woman’s naked body.”
She also apologized in a Facebook post that has since been deleted:
“Women make my world go round, I have nothing short of respect for women, I surround myself with women and work hard at empowering our community… and I completely understand how terrible this was and is.”
“Please please know how upset I am with myself for this and take my word that it won’t happen again.”
“I love and appreciate every one of you and know that everyone is beautiful in their own way, that’s what makes us all so special.”
“I can’t undo this mistake, although I would give anything to, but I ask your forgiveness. “
“This has truly made me realize that some of the things that we do or say can seem silly in the moment or in (in this case,what was meant to be) a private conversation, aren’t necessary.”
“All I’ve done here is spread negativity and hatred when that isn’t who I am or what I’ve ever been about.”
And then she apologized a third time at the scene of the crime… on Snapchat:
