Borussia Dortmund sorry for TikTok ‘mocking’ woman’s stammer

German football powerhouse Borussia Dortmund and triathlon organizer Ironman have issued public apologies after facing backlash for posting TikTok videos that appeared to mock Jessie Yendle, a Welsh influencer with a stammer. The controversial clips, which featured Jessie struggling to pronounce a sound before transitioning into a popular TikTok dance track, were widely criticized for their insensitivity. Both organizations have since removed the videos and expressed remorse for their actions. Borussia Dortmund has extended an invitation to Jessie to attend a UEFA Champions League match as a gesture of goodwill, while Ironman acknowledged their oversight and pledged to improve their content vetting process. Jessie, known online as Mimidarlingbeauty to her 3.5 million TikTok followers, has been a vocal advocate for raising awareness about speech impediments. Her spokesperson stated that the videos were deeply hurtful and highlighted the ongoing need for a more inclusive society. Jessie has also campaigned for the introduction of a universal symbol to assist the estimated 450,000 people in the UK with speech impediments.
