"Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain't my fav app out there! But I'm just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess!"

"I’d love to call it ignorance, but I know you ain’t that dumb."

"This isn’t about my personal feelings, cause I don’t have much of them… but all the women, children and men that have been victims of DV in the past and especially the ones who haven’t made it out yet.

You let us down! Shame on you. Throw the whole app-ology away."

'Reviewed and approved in error'

Snapchat apologized and deleted the advertisement and said: "the advert was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines."
