Staying silent: Hamilton Instagram account emptied
Four-time Formula One champion deletes all his posts in the wake of the criticism he received for lambasting his nephew for wearing a princess dress
Lewis Hamilton’s Instagram account has been completely emptied as the fall out over his lapse of judgment when recently lambasting a nephew for wearing a princess dress continues.
Four-time Formula One world champion Hamilton had shared a video with his 5.7 million followers mocking his nephew sporting a blue and pink dress and waving a pink heart-shaped furry wand over the Christmas holidays.
In the video, which has since been taken down, Hamilton shouts: “Boys don’t wear princess dresses” which led to the youngster covering his ears with his hands.
The 32-year-old’s actions drew criticism on social media from users who felt his nephew should be free to wear whatever he wanted.
Hamilton took down the Instagram post and later tweeted an apology, which has also now been deleted.
