It didn’t take users long to discover that Lynch had once posted a photo of her driver’s license and used the information to attack her. (Lynch’s personal information has been blurred out by BuzzFeed.)

The Internet rage spun out of control as Twitter users took out their anger at Lynch by contacting her family. They also circulated nude pictures and videos of her found on Tumblr.
Lynch deleted all of her social media accounts, then later reopened her Twitter to attempt to be forgiven for her costume.

Plz stop with the death threats towards my parents. They did nothing wrong. I was the one in the wrong and I am paying for being insensitive

    Commenters on a Barstool Sports article about Lynch began to track down all of her information, including her employer and what they thought was her dad’s company.

    Boston Marathon victim Sydney Corcoran, who was severely injured along with her mother, Celeste, also tweeted in anger at Lynch.

    @SomeSKANKinMI You should be ashamed, my mother lost both her legs and I almost died in the marathon. You need a filter.

    I have been fired from my job. I am paying for what I thought was a simple joke. I know it was wrong now. I wasn't thinking.

    Though the Internet anger continued into November, some tried to end the incessant attacks on Lynch, tweeting that they had forgiven her.

    @SomeSKANKinMI You guys, stop. Cyber bullying another human being is not going to undo her actions. She has apologized.

    @SomeSKANKinMI As someone who ran the marathon, I know that violent, angry responses are exactly what fueled the bombings to begin with.

    Update Nov. 3, 12:50 p.m.: Lynch reached out to BuzzFeed to express her regret at her costume choice. She also chastised those who wished harm on her, saying she would never wish what happened to her on someone else.
    It seems as though my outfit was too soon, and will always be that way, it was wrong of me and very distasteful. My costume was not meant to disrespect anyone, ever. I am truly sorry to anyone that I may have offended or hurt with this. I know my apology doesn’t ever fix anything that has been done, but at least know that I am being sincere.

    I can’t undo my actions or make up for them, but my apology is a start.

    I myself have been through tragic events, I just handle mine differently because that is how I was taught to. I realize I was in the wrong with this and again, I am truly sorry.

    I wore a costume to work, with people that know me, and wouldn’t get offended by it. I had even ran the idea by a friend whom had his father in the marathon and he didn’t have an issue with it.

    What I did may have been wrong, but is it truly right to wish harm upon someone and say that you’re doing it for the victims? As being a part of a tragic event I never would ever wish what had happened to me upon someone else, as I can say most people wouldn’t wish death upon someone to ‘make it right’.

    Lynch also claims she didn’t post the apology tweets under her username @someSKANKinMI.
    “I had apologized a few hours after posting and the apology went to deaf ears and blind eyes, so I had deleted all my social accounts. It seems someone is trying to look out for me and help me make things better, which I also greatly appreciate,” she said.

    They've already doxxed her. Next year she should dress up as a 9/11 victim. Then a dead American soldier the year after.

    Stir up more white feelings. B/c it's hilarious and they deserve it.

    lol Her apology just shows how dumb she is. So she's been through a tragedy, but couldn't see that what she was doing might be a stupid idea until after she caught heat for it? Then she brings up the fact that she wore it to a work party where she knew people wouldn't take offense to it. Ok, but then why put the pics up on the net for everybody to see?

    I'm not a sensitive dude. Sometimes funny stuff can come out of tragic situations. I don't even see the humor in the ? these white people do for Halloween. Seriously, where's the funny part? How is dressing up like someone that was injured in a tragic event appropriate in any way? It doesn't make sense, but then again, what should we expect from a chick that refers to herself as some skank in MI.
