Australian influencer Jadé Tuncdoruk has been forced to apologise for a racially insensitive Facebook post.
In the resurfaced post from 2017, the 26-year-old complained to Uber Eats about their ‘annoying non-English speaking delivery drivers’.
‘I order off you guys all the time and I’m starting to find it really annoying that you have so many non English speaking delivery people who can’t follow basic delivery instructions,’ Jadé wrote.

‘I got a notification today saying my food was arriving and it took the person a further 20 mins to get to my door because he didn’t read my delivery instructions properly and when I called him to explain he didn’t understand a word I was saying.’
She continued: ‘Your GPS is consistently sending drivers to the wrong address which I’ve explained in my instructions which most people read and have no problem with but when foreigners are delivering it takes twice as long for me to receive my then cold food. Sort it out.’
On Friday, Jadé apologised for her ‘hurtful comments’ after her post was uploaded by the Celeb Spellcheck Instagram page.

‘I’m sorry to anyone I’ve hurt with my comments. I hold myself accountable for my actions,’ she wrote.
‘It doesn’t excuse anything but know that I have grown immensely in the past several years. I always do my best to be someone others can look up to and I know I’ve let people down and for that I’m truly sorry.’
It comes after Jadé was slammed for ‘demanding’ that a small business give her a refund for a deposit on her honeymoon – after she ignored the company’s terms and conditions.
She raised eyebrows this week by whingeing to her online fans about the financial woes of cancelling her lavish Hunter Valley honeymoon with fiancé Lachie Brycki due to Covid.

Cash clash: It comes after Jadé was slammed for ‘demanding’ that a small business give her a refund for a deposit on her honeymoon – after she ignored the company’s terms and conditions
In her now-deleted post, Jadé, who is frequently gifted with luxury designer handbags and clothing, explained that she’d booked her stay with premium holiday rental company Weekenda last year, putting down a $2,000 deposit.
She however decided to cancel her booking with the company Weekenda in August, after postponing her wedding due to Covid.
It’s unclear why Jadé opted to cancel altogether rather than simply postponing the trip, just like her wedding.
She demanded that the company refund her deposit – even though Weekenda’s terms and conditions clearly states that customers aren’t entitled to a refund of their deposit if they cancel.
‘Incredibly poor form’: In her now-deleted post, Jadé star explained that she’d booked her stay with premium holiday rental company Weekenda last year, putting down a $2,000 deposit. After cancelling the booking due to Covid, she demanded that the company refund her deposit. Weekenda denied their request
‘We requested a refund due to the pandemic, but they said the best they could do was put it back up on line to be booked by someone else,’ Jadé explained.
‘Six weeks out of [sic] the booking and we’ve asked again for a refund which they’ve denied. They’ve had months to refund us for a booking that we don’t need. They’re taking our money just because they can,’ she raged.
She added: ‘It’s just incredibly poor form and so disappointing that businesses are taking advantage of people in the middle of a pandemic.’
Refund request: Jadé included a link to Weekenda’s Instagram page, and it didn’t take long for her supporters to lash out at the company

She later claimed she was surprised that her followers had begun contacting the company directly and demanding they refund her money.
‘Not y’all following them,’ she wrote, rolling her eyes.
Not long after, a smug-looking Jadé shared another post announcing that Weekenda had agreed to refund her deposit.
