Fury broke out across social networks today after FHM model Jessica Leandra dropped the K-bomb on a “gentleman” in a shop last night. In an attempt to explain where “her anger boiled from”, she updated her blog, also saying she is “apologetic”.

FHM, however, has since publicly distanced themselves from her and have stripped her of her title as winner of the FHM Modelbook 2011 competition. They have also removed all pictures of her from their website and “will have nothing to do with her in future.”

Read the full statement by editor, Brendan Cooper, below:

Official statement from FHM on Jessica Leandra Dos Santos’ racist comments:

FHM was appalled by Jessica Leandra Dos Santos’ racist Tweets and would like to formally announce that she has been stripped of her title as winner of the FHM Modelbook 2011 competition with immediate effect.

It’s important to us that it is noted that she in no way represents the magazine; she was merely the winner of an online poll we ran, and that we totally distance ourselves from her blatantly racist comments. We have removed all pictures of her from our website and will have nothing to do with her in future.

FHM is a proudly South African magazine and say ‘No’ to racism.
