Given how quickly these tweets spread, Lunden and Olivia took a pause during their honeymoon to issue an apology. But what threw followers off was that Lunden posted her apology on TikTok stories, which would disappear in 24 hours. Followers speculated that she did this because an actual apology post would likely garner more attention and could have a bigger impact on her reputation.

Another Reddit user opined that this controversy may have also been a wake-up call for Olivia, too. "She seemed not only disgusted/shocked at Lunden but at herself for not seeing what might be her true nature," they wrote.
