Liftgate is the incident in the lift,where Rebecca’s friend made a racist comment/joke. Rebecca reacted to it, Lee filmed it...neither of them shut it down. Rebecca left the comment in the vlog, post editing. When it was pointed out in comments, Rebecca said it was poor taste, left the lift scene in the vlog and put a few seconds of music over the offensive comment. The vlog remained up on YouTube.New here and catching up with everything. Unfollowed Rebecca a while ago so didn’t know about the racist comment until I read the posts on here and googling it. What was liftgate? Can’t find that on google. Thanks!
Subsequently, Rebecca put up a picture of a T-shirt with the slogan “Zero F**ks given”...while a lot of people were upset about the vlog. Anyone who wanted to comment about the vlog and offensive content was blocked/deleted/silenced.
Rebecca then put up a WOC and a woman with her mixed race children as a Follow Friday, this upset the WOC as she personally felt she was being used as a shield to detract from the racist content Rebecca had put up.
Rebecca put up a ‘justification’ as an apology a few days after, claiming the comment was background noise, therefore dismissing the feelings of those who were upset/affected by her behaviour.
I think that covers liftgate...still no real acknowledgement/apology for their behaviour but that is classic Rebecca and Lee.
