Bollywood actress and Arsenal ambassador, Esha Gupta, has been forced to apologize after she was slammed online over a racist remark against Nigerian footballer Alex Iwobi.
The 33-year-old who is a well-known Arsenal fan and ex-girlfriend of defender Hector Bellerin was reacting to Gunners’ FA Cup defeat by Manchester United when the racist remark was made.
She posted a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between herself and another person on Instagram where Alex Iwobi was described as a ‘gorilla.’
In the image, she shared, Esha who helped the club launch a kit in 2017, received messages from @Varun_Gupta17 which read: “Solves our winger issues. I can’t see that gorilla faced Iwobi running down the flank again. He’s so bad ya.”
She replied: ‘Hahahahahaha I honestly dunno why they don’t bench him more.’
Varun_Gupta17 added: ‘It’s like evolution stopped for him. Didn’t change from Neanderthal to man.’
