SHE SAID THE N-WORD ON LIVE... THEN CAME THE DENIAL.

🚨 SHE SAID “SISSIES”?! THE INTERNET IS NOT BUYING IT. 😳 Australian influencer and Kikiva Activewear founder Kia Buckley is facing a major backlash after her sister used the N-word during Kia’s TikTok livestream. And what happened NEXT is what really has people talking. Kia was doing her makeup on camera when her sister arrived home and shouted a racial slur from offscreen. Kia immediately warned her sister that she was LIVE. Then came the explanation. Kia told viewers her sister hadn’t said what they thought they’d heard. She said her sister had actually said “sissies.” YES. SISSIES. But the recording spread across social media, and the backlash intensified. Kia later acknowledged that her sister had used a racial slur and apologized for failing to address it appropriately in the moment. Her activewear company also released a statement promising education and changes within the business. But the damage was already spreading. Several influencers and models associated with Kikiva have publicly distanced themselves from the brand. And now people are asking two very different questions. FIRST: Why was that language used so casually? SECOND: Why did Kia initially deny what viewers heard? Because making a mistake is one thing. How you respond when that mistake becomes public is another. Kia says she does not condone racism and has apologized. But for many viewers, the controversy is also about trust and accountability. WATCH THE ORIGINAL MOMENT. And tell me what YOU think. Is her apology enough, or did her initial explanation make the entire situation worse? #KiaBuckley #Kikiva #KikivaActivewear #InfluencerNews #SocialMediaControversy
