In addition to a series of congratulations on the couple’s union, TikTok was rocked with snide comments after posts on Reddit breathed new life into Lunden’s old social media posts.
“Lunden by Lunden and Olivia has recently resurfaced over 100 tweets containing occasional N-word use and microaggressions,” a Reddit user Posted Monday. “She deletes and blocks anyone who acknowledges it.”

“[Lunden] was more than old enough to know better here, coupled with the fact that she actually had HUNDREDS of tweets that omitted the N-word,” a Reddit user wrote. “And she deletes every comment on her social media asking about it. Such a shame.”

In an apology posted to TikTok as a story on Tuesday, Lunden said the tweets from “10 to 12 years ago” do not reflect who she is now.

Meanwhile, social media users on the couple’s shared TikTok page were quick to question why the couple had their wedding at a former plantation.

“Yeah, a plantation wedding feels appropriate, doesn’t it?” wrote another.
Neither Stallings nor Bennett immediately responded to The Daily Beast’s requests for comment on Wednesday, and Naylor Hall could not confirm whether the 19th century owner HW Proudfoot was a slave owner or whether forced labor was employed on the estate.
