Social media network, Snapchat has been forced to apologize for causing an outrage after they ran an offensive advert in question that asked its users if they would rather “slap Rihanna” or “punch Chris Brown”.


The advert was a reference to Chris’ 2009 conviction for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna which was “reviewed and approved in error”.
Rihanna had also taken to Instagram to share her thoughts about the offensive advert, saying it was offensive to not only her but also every woman who has suffered domestic violence.
In a statement to Mashable, a Snapchat spokesperson said: “The ad was reviewed and approved in error, as it violates our advertising guidelines. We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened.”
