In the short vlog, Clark and fam stayed at late rapper Biggie Small\u2019s previous residence in Brooklyn and wanted to get the authentic New York experience\u2026 but not everyone was impressed with how they handled their trip. During their stay, Clark notably filmed a community of Hasidic Jewish people walking down the street and asked: \u201cWhy are so many people wearing these wigs?\u201d seemingly referring to Shtreimels, hats that are traditionally worn by Hasidic Jewish men. On top of this, many viewers expressed disdain for how Clark described The Big Apple. TikToker under fire for \u201coffensive\u201d comments during New York trip \u201cNot many tourists would choose this destination, but we want to experience the real New York,\u201d Clark said in her video, using footage of food spilled on the ground outside. Clark also called a nearby pizzeria a \u201cdodgy little pizza joint\u201d and pointed out how there were \u201ctwo police officers at every intersection, people selling trees and other supplies, hairdressers, and homeless people everywhere.\u201d Commenters took issue with how Clark described the city, as well as her question regarding the Jewish community she filmed in her video, calling her words \u201cinsulting\u201d and \u201ctone deaf.\u201d \u201cThis is so tone deaf,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cPeople aren\u2019t a side show,\u201d another said. \u201cImagine someone else just brushing off something about your religion like you just did,\u201d another pointed out. \u201cYou could hurt someone\u2019s feelings. It\u2019s not hard to ask.\u201d TikToker apologizes to Jewish community for \u201ctone deaf\u201d tourist video Clark has since posted an apology video addressing the backlash on her travel vlog, claiming that she received a slew of negative comments only after she\u2019d left the city to travel back to AUS \u2014 including one that purportedly said, \u201cIf I ever see you walking the streets of New York, Imma beat your a** like your ex.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m here to tell you that I have never seen a Shtreimel before,\u201d Clark explained. \u201cI have lived in Australia my whole life. \u2026I have never seen anyone walking the streets with a Shtreimel before.\u201d \u201cFirstly, I wanna say sorry to anyone who was offended by my question,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t my intention. I was just making an observation, and I truly didn\u2019t know what it was.\u201d Comments beneath Clark\u2019s apology video are relatively positive, with many claiming they also had never seen a Shtreimel until her NYC travel vlog. Since then, Clark has continued to upload other videos of her time in New York with her family, all of which have, comparatively, been well-received by fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
