Miss South Africa Sets The Record Straight on 'Glove' Drama

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters came under fire when she posted photos on her Instagram account of herself wearing latex gloves while at a soup drive for underprivileged people. This sparked a debate about whether she was doing it for hygiene reasons or if the wearing of gloves was "racially motivated." Responding to the comments, Demi posted a video explaining why she was wearing gloves.  Do you think social media users are blowing this out of proportion?
