"Yes, of course, we both saw it. But to be honest I never felt anything against her towards it. She's not the graphics designer, she is not the social media manager. I have nothing against Anntonia per se. Of course, we all have an issue with the mistaken post. Yes, we were able to touch on it but I didn't want to make it a big deal because it wasn't her problem to bare. She wasn't the one who made the mistake. And I would hate for people to bash her for it because truly I have nothing against who was up there. Of course we just wish that I was able to hold the mic and I we all know that I would been prepared for it," Dee said.
