Matthew Espinosa is the latest member of the racist Vine crew, joining Nash and Hayes Grier who are known for their less-than desirable pasts.
The 19-year-old has, for the most part, kept himself out of any serious drama throughout the course of his Internet stardom, but all that changed yesterday when he posted a Snapchat with a HIGHLY offensive caption.
Did he really just use the n-word? Yes he did. Although the teen eventually deleted the Snap, the damage was already done and people used the hashtag #MatthewExposedParty to call him out for his actions.

So, what was Matthew to do? An apology wouldn’t have justified his word choice by any means, but it’s definitely a nice gesture to make. But no… instead of taking responsibility, the Viner simply pointed the finger of blame at one of his friends.
Man I can't trust my friends with my phone I'm mad pissed

He then technically said he was sorry, but only for making people think he doesn’t “love EVERYONE on this earth.”
I love EVERYONE on this earth. And I'm sorry if anyone thinks otherwise.
