    The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star was trending on Twitter after a photo emerged of her at 19-years-old being crowned the winner of the Veiled Prophet Ball – an event with an allegedly racist history.

    Ellie Kemper, an actress best known for her TV roles in "The Office" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," found herself trending on Twitter over Memorial Day weekend, branded a "KKK Princess" after a photo of her at a Missouri debutante ball when she was 19 went viral.

    It wasn't true -- Kemper was not a "KKK Princess" -- but that didn't matter: The damage was done, and no matter how many journalists pushed back on the simplistic narrative, the internet coalesced around the false conclusion that "Ellie Kemper was a racist beauty queen." By the next week, Kemper had apologized on Instagram for her involvement with an organization that had "an unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past

    She came from a foofoo family that's big around St. Louis. Prob knows that Ken and Karen couple from last year...

    Not sure what she really but it seems people are trying to tear down her past and family connections to make about what they represent rather than what she's really done.

    That's not ironic at all.

    I'm actually surprised it was not more of a thing, which means these twitter warriors are losing a bit of power.

    The novelty seems to wearing off.

    These petty little ants need to get their priorities straight.

    once i started rewatching the office i realized how shitty jim and pam actually were and what an insufferable couple they were. pam is engaged and flirting with jim the whole time...jim is trying to steal an engaged chick away. jim starts dating karen while he still loves pam. jim dates the purse girl/hot girl then acts like a jerk towards her and breaks up with her on the cruise because he is upset that roy and pam set a date for their wedding. pam goes to art school and flirts with the guy who looked like a cross b/t roy and jim. jim starts another business but wants to keep his job and also get paid full-time for it. pam clearly has something going on with russ hanneman (the office cameraman turned silicon valley billionaire/tequilla-maker).

    kevin was right though - pam had nice boobs.

    karen might have been the best looking, but the pant suit was really unflattering. pam and erin knew how to dress properly/sexily.
