In it, Apple jumped into the frame and began to pose confidently. And whether it was due to the timing of her entrance or her body language, many social media users saw her behavior as that of a “mean girl.”
But amid the controversy, the French countess stepped in to help clear Apple’s name.
“[Apple’s] genuinely the nicest girl ever,” Aliénor has since told People. “She really doesn’t deserve an ounce of what she’s getting.”
“She was the nicest girl ever,” she continued, “towards not only me but all the debs!”
After all, this was an event that Apple’s whole family was looking forward to. Even the Iron Man actress took to social media to express just how excited she was for her daughter’s big milestone.
“My beautiful daughter,” Gwyneth wrote on her Instagram Stories, along with photos of Apple in her sky blue, ruffled gown, “in @maisonvalentino.”
