Borussia Dortmund sorry for TikTok ‘mocking’ woman’s stammer

Borussia Dortmund, the owner of the German football team, has apologized after making an apology for stammering a woman from Wales in a video posted on the TikTok account.

Before the repetition morphed into the introduction of a well-known TikTok dance track playing over footage of striker Serhou Guirassy, the clip featured influencer Jessie Yendle struggling to pronounce a sound as she stammered.

Ironman, a triathlon organiser, posted a similar clip, and Ms. Yendle, a resident of Pontypridd, called the videos “deeply shocked.”

Jessica Yendle’s social media sharing of videos has caused her a lot of pain and shock, according to a spokeswoman for her.

Being mocked in such a cruel and public manner is both extremely disappointing and personally upsetting as someone who courageously used her platform to raise awareness about stammering.

Borussia Dortmund removed the video after the BBC contacted Ironman, who later responded to online criticism of the reel by saying it was “truly sorry.”

Before it was deleted, the TikTok had 765, 000 views. The German champions, who won the 1997 Champions League, have 17.3 million TikTok followers.

It was never our intention to humiliate, insult, or otherwise harm anyone, according to a statement from the football team’s spokeswoman.

Ironman claimed in a comment that the initial post was mistaken.

The organization remarked, “We should have done thorough research before jumping on what we thought was a social media trend.”

It added that it had also contacted Jessie, who is known as Mimidarlingbeauty, to apologize to her 3,5 million TikTok followers.

Ironman stated that “we as an organization care deeply about inclusion and have worked with athletes of all abilities.”

Jessie, who raises awareness of speech issues, regularly receives millions of views on her TikTok videos about her speech problems.
