Clashes With Lottie
Jemelin and Lottie Lion have had several clashes on social media. When Lottie texted, "I am the only candidate of 12 who knew when WW2 was, this isn’t a brag, but an important reminder to educate your children on the heritage of your country." Jemelin then replied to the post and referred back to the accusations of racism against Lottie, writing: "Also very important to teach your kids about racial equality and how to be a kind human being a lot more important then this." The BBC spoke to Lottie about the unacceptable clash.

Lottie then shot back, "Released today I have been 'let off', maybe you should consider why?" she replied. "I have been unfairly portrayed in the media and I won't allow you to bring me down. The public will soon see how 'well' you did. I wish you the best." Jemelin, however, argued that there was "no need for wishes that are not meaningful" and added that the "truth will always come out", to which Lottie insisted that Jemelin had her "full respect" and that the truth had already been revealed.

"Jem, I really do wish you the best," Lottie replied. "I think you're an astute business woman, feisty with a lot of ability, you have my full respect. The truth has come out, I think it's time you realised you'll get further in life by focusing on bettering your own rather than damaging other's." Lottie replied.

"No one is damaging others," Jemelin shot back. "I am a true believer of justice you can lie to yourself but you can't lie to the rest of the world and the 14 witnesses that know the truth, so like I said truth always rise above no matter what that's all I have to say."
