Tinx‘s TikTok profile often boasts messages of self love, body positivity and more.

“About 10 years ago, I sent some truly nasty, mean, horrible tweets,” Tinx, who was born Christina Najjar, posted in her apology on Instagram. “I called people that I had never met fat, pathetic and ugly. I even called Kim Kardashian fat, which is ironic considering she is my number one idol and person I look up to. When I read the tweets back, I am ashamed and embarrassed. They are mean spirited, and I am not mean-spirited—but I used to be.”

“Let me tell you about the girl who wrote those tweets. I was 21, and deeply, deeply insecure. I hated myself and had a bad relationship with my body,” she continued. “I was also extremely lost. I’ve told you guys about that before. About being so lost and wanting to find a passion and find my voice. So, I tried on many hats, one of which was [a] mean tweeter to get a laugh. And it’s not funny at all. Only insecure people punch down. And only deeply insecure people try to make others the butt of the joke. Being mean is not funny, it’s just plain mean. Hurt people, hurt people and I know my words caused hurt.”

“If you’ve been following me for a little bit, you know they are not representative of who I am. I am very sorry. I am a work in progress,” she concluded.

Tinx has 1.5 million followers on TikTok.
