The Estonian model whose photo accidentally wound up in a post sent from Delaware Gov. Jack Markell’s (D) Twitter account said Thursday that being tied to the politician “offended” her.
Markell’s office had apologized Thursday after an “inappropriate” tweet including a photo of a blonde woman wearing what appeared to be bondage gear was sent out from his account. A link to a recently uploaded photo of the governor introducing a new education initiative had been altered by a single letter, causing the old photo of the blond woman to be included in the tweet instead.
Ummm… Maybe she’s a teacher? @GovernorMarkell pic.twitter.com/3kXlpPgf7j

“The lessons here are not to compose tweets too quickly and there is a lot of odd stuff on the internet,” a statement released by Markell’s office read. “We just wish the accidental link had been a cat video.”
The Twitter user who claimed the photo, @PreciousLittle, lists her name as Darja in her bio and described herself as an Estonian model, singer, and photo editor. While she tweeted that she thought the mix-up was an “honest accident,” she went on to detail how upset she was by some of that accident’s coverage:
Regarding an image tweeted of me today, it was a harmless selfie/candid from a photoshoot years ago. I believe it was an honest accident.

I don’t deserve to have my integrity or that of anyone I know questioned because of a stranger’s error.

For the record, I am not now nor have I ever been a dominatrix. I’ve also never had any personal involvement with any politicians.

I’ve been happily engaged for years. I have INFINITELY superior taste in men & am offended anyone would associate me with this individual.

" tied to the politician"
Play on words ?
Think how offended she’d be if nobody knew who Precious was.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tJQsjjb4dsOh wait, that’s not her.
Thin line between “model” and “Ho”
She’d rather it had been a rich Republican…
where she could sue for famation of her character ?
Good thing her name isn’t close to Missy Hyatt.
