Kady McDermott tells Maria Fowler she’s ‘deeply sorry’ for ‘disgusting comment’ after she called her daughter, 2, ‘vile’
The Love Island star, 23, admitted she "instantly regretted" her hurtful comment and vowed to be a better person
KADY McDermott has told Maria Fowler she's "deeply sorry" for calling her two-year-old daughter "vile" in a bitter Twitter spat.
The Love Island star, 23, insisted she didn't mean what she said and was acting impulsively out of anger after she was accused of mimicking Maria's home interior company.
Admitting she "instantly regretted" making the nasty remark, Kady told her Instagram followers she has a lot to learn.
She wrote: "I'm only human and naturally make mistakes on temporary based emotions, and being in the public eye unfortunately every single one of my mistakes get put out there to the world.
"I am deeply sorry to Maria, her partner and of course gorgeous Evie. I did NOT mean what I said. I was massively upset by Maria's comments to me that made me feel SO upset beyond words and a degrade to my character, I then wanted to hurt her where it hurt too so I reacted irrationally and badly.
"It was a disgusting comment stupidly said in a split second of anger, I instantly regretted it and deleted the comment straight away but sadly the damage was already done.
"I am reactive at times but I am not evil or a bad person."
Kady has been dropped by fashion brand Missy Empire following her comments, and after being punished for her words, she's vowed to become a better person.
She ended her statement by urging trolls to stop directing messages at her wishing her and her family harm.
Yesterday Maria blasted Kady for criticising her daughter.
The 32-year-old initially launched into a war of words with Kady on social media over claims she mimicked Maria's interior company, Project In A Village, with her new home renovation business.
Seeing red with the similarity between Kady's new business and her own, Maria privately contacted the reality star over Instagram in which she branded her an "alien head".
When Maria initially confronted Kady about claims she copied her business, the recently axed Towie star said: "You're a grown woman with a child going about someone having a similar name to yours.
"So embarrassing. I wasn’t gonna say anything but I’ve just watched your stories and I’m cringing.
Adding: "So so so much more happening in the world then similar bios and Instagram names.
"And if you think I've copied you you should take it as a compliment. Maria no one wants to copy you. You’re no one. Grow up x."
Not taking her comments, Maria, who shared the screenshots of their conversation on Twitter, responded: "There's more to life than Instagram followers kady. I've got a stable relationship.
"Getting married next year and have a beautiful daughter. 'You're no one' with comments like that I think you’re the one who needs to grow up."
Kady then fired back: "You are so embarrassing now you're calling a 23 year old a brass. Just because you're one doesn't mean everyone is like you. Cringe bag."
As their argument heated up, Maria then was left baffled when Kady labelled her two-year-old daughter Evie as ";vile."
Baffled by the low-blow, Maria shared the conversation on Twitter and wrote: "So kady Mcdermott comes at me in my inbox calling me a nobody and resorts to calling my 2 year old daughter vile.
"What a lovely girl".
She then shared a number of adorable photos of her little one on Twitter after being left angry over Kady's remarks.
Captioning her photos of Evie, she wrote: "Don't come at me saying my daughter isn't photogenic. She's unreal.
"To look at a 2 year old and first thing you do is judge their looks you've actually got something wrong with yourself."
A rep for Kady told The Sun Online: "Kady said a comment in a heat of the moment after she was being verbally name called by Maria.
"She deleted the comment within a second and as soon as she said it instantly regretted it and apologised to Maria.
"There is no excuse for that comment at all, she is deeply sorry and did not mean it. It was a comment in a second of anger."

However, Maria took to Instagram to comment on the remarks again and insisted that Kady has yet to apologise.
She wrote: "For the record Kady hasn't apologised as I won't accept an apology, no one calls my little girl vile then gets to apologise and beg me to remove my posts via her agent.
"Posting 'me me me' pics of animal charity work to distract from that facet that this morning you abused a 2 year old with vile language so vain and transparent."
