She informed her followers that things didn't go as expected and encouraged them to watch the rest of the "cringe-worthy" interaction on her YouTube channel.
Flaa expressed her deep respect for individuals who take responsibility for their mistakes and offer an apology, noting the significance and power of the word 'Sorry'.
