Bachelorette star Elly Miles is accused of attending ANOTHER boozy Australia Day party - Daily Mail

Bachelorette star Elly Miles is accused of attending ANOTHER boozy Australia Day party after issuing an apology last year for her 'lapse in judgement' - but she quickly sets the record straight

Bachelorette star Elly Miles has been accused of attending another boozy Australia Day party on Wednesday, after apologising for her 'lapse in judgement' last year.

The influencer, 27, was called out by Instagram page Celeb Spellcheck for 'doing exactly what she apologised for last year' after she posted a now-deleted photo to her socials of herself enjoying a glass of bubbly while surrounded by a group of pals.

Elly, who has since revealed it wasn't an Australia Day party, received backlash last year for delivering a sombre speech about how painful Australia Day can be for Indigenous people, shortly before downing shots at a boozy backyard bash.

In the now-deleted Instagram post on Wednesday, the reality star was seen smiling as she held up a glass of bubbly while seated at an outdoor table with her friends.

Following the backlash, Elly took to her Instagram Stories, insisting that she was not by any means at an Australia Day party.

'I want to jump on my Stories really quick because I've got a couple of comments coming through on my photos that people are a bit worried that I'm at an Australia Day party,' she began.

'And I just want to say so you hear directly from me, I'm not. I'm at a friend's house, [we've] got the kids in the pool, we're hanging out. We've got some friends going away, that is all it is. 

'So I wanted to come on here so you could hear directly from me. I want to clear that up right now. I am all for abolish the date. I 110 per cent respect that this is Aboriginal land that we're living on, and I'm not supporting Australia Day at all.' 

Last year, Elly uploaded a video of herself delivering a sombre speech about how painful Australia Day can be for Indigenous people, before sharing a photo of herself attending an 'Invasion Day' protest in Sydney.  

Not an Australia Day party: 'And I just want to say so you hear directly from me, I'm not. I'm at a friend's house, [we've] got the kids in the pool, we're hanging out. We've got some friends going away, that is all it is,' she said

'I am sorry': Last year, Elly issued a public apology for attending an Australia Day pool party just hours after attending a change the date protest

Just hours later, however, Elly raised eyebrows by documenting herself attending a boozy Australia Day pool party.

The rather tone-deaf sequence of events wasn't lost on Elly's Instagram followers, many of whom accused her of being a hypocrite. 

One fan wrote: 'Just a little contradicting and confusing to be posting about your support with changing the date and then heading to what one can assume would be an Australia Day party... as it's a party on Australia Day?

'I hope you acknowledge this. I'll be eager to see your reasoning.'

Another commented on Elly's Instagram page: 'It is very upsetting to see you post a change the date post on this day of mourning, yet you go to an Australia Day party the same day. This is so disappointing and beyond tone deaf.' 

Other followers accused Elly of feigning empathy for Indigenous people to improve her public image as an influencer.

Lapse of judgement: 'I had a complete lapse of judgement and have a lot of regret for my actions. I sincerely apologise for upsetting anyone,' she wrote

'Your manager must have reminded you to give some lip service and a quick pic and then off to get blind and party. Performative influencers,' one fan grumbled.

Another agreed: 'I feel like these influencers say something about it just to say they did. Maybe because they'll cop s**t if they don't?' 

Addressing the furore in an Instagram post at the time, Elly wrote: 'To answer people's comments from yesterday, there is nothing else I can say in this situation other than "I am sorry".

'Be the change': Last year, Elly uploaded a video of herself delivering a sombre speech about how painful Australia Day can be for Indigenous people, before sharing a photo of herself attending an 'Invasion Day' protest in Sydney (pictured)

'I had a complete lapse of judgement and have a lot of regret for my actions. I sincerely apologise for upsetting anyone,' she added.

'I stand by my attendance at the Change the Date protest and feel that it is an incredibly important issue. I truly wasn't being insincere with my attendance.

'I know how it looks, we all make mistakes - I made one yesterday and all I can say once again, from the bottom of my heart, is that I truly am sorry.'
