The 36-year-old model and businesswoman received a lot of negative feedback on social media for her contentious wardrobe decision.

In the face of mounting worries about gun violence, Simmons expressed sorrow for her insensitivity on Instagram and apologised.

Simmons clarified that her choice of purse was not meant to upset anyone, adding that she is "super peaceful".

Her personal connection to gun violence—her ex-fiance, Sutton Tennyson, was slain in a shooting—increased the anger.

Simmons apologised for the error and cited her own experiences with gun violence as justification.

The event took place concurrently with the U.S. Surgeon General's declaration of gun violence as a public health emergency.

Critics on social media were quick to point out the irony of her fashion statement given her past trauma.
