Lili apologises
After facing backlash for her post, Lili took to social media to apologise.
She tweeted, 'I've always tried to use my platform for good. And speak up about things that are important to me.'
'I also can admit when I make a mistake and I made a mistake with my caption.'
Lili continued, 'It was never my intent to insult anyone and I'm truly sorry to those that were offended.'
'I've tried very hard to be honest on my IGTV lives that I'm still learning and trying to be better.'
