Winnie Harlow apologizes to woman accusing her of being a ‘typical mean girl’ at Teyana Taylor’s listening party and then says ‘she’s lying for clout’
Winnie Harlow took to Twitter and apologized to a woman who accused her of being a ‘typical mean girl’ at a listening party for singer Teyana Taylor in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
But then, after some give-and-take interaction where each of the ladies gave their side of the story of what happened when they brushed shoulders at the event, Harlow ended the virtual conversation by accusing the woman of ‘lying for clout.’
This all started when a Twitter user named @Dimplez tweeted, ‘Had the wildest encounter with @WinnieHarlow… crazy how someone so pretty could be so ugly–as a human being. God bless her.’

Harlow then replied that everyone was ‘tipsy’ and that she didn’t intentionally try to be rude.
‘If I passed you to the bar it wasn’t on purpose, it was an open bar. And I’ve just woken up to this I didn’t have anyone do anything,’ the Canadian fashion model wrote.
‘I apologize if I’ve made you feel a way that was definitely not my intent xx.’
Some posts claiming that singer Trey Songz had to deescalate the situation followed, so Harlow sent him a message on Instagram to get his side of the story.
