A well-known influencer from New York City has confessed to making a young boy she was babysitting smoke a vape after an alarming video she recorded resurfaced online.
Fiona Jordan, 23, who boasts 100,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 600,000 on TikTok, faced backlash when a video of a child smoking under her supervision appeared on social media.
In the video, an unnamed boy was seen putting his mouth on the vaporizer device, which was being held out for him by one of the two girls involved.
The young boy exhaled, releasing smoke, which prompted laughter from the girls, including Jordan, as the boy coughed and looked around in bewilderment.
Just hours after being approached by the Daily Mail for a statement, Jordan acknowledged her involvement, explaining she was 15 at the time and now fully accepts her actions.
She addressed her audience, stating, ‘I was not of a sound mind. As a teenager, I made several reckless decisions, and ultimately I made a grave mistake.
‘Filming it and being present makes me equally culpable, and I take full responsibility for this. I am genuinely sorry for the distress I have caused the family, both then and now.’
‘I can’t change what I did, but I can acknowledge how wrong it was.’
