Cara Delevingne won't let Twitter shade stop her from promoting awareness of the refugee crisis
On Friday, model/actress/eyebrow goals personified Cara Delevingne posted a vague tweet to her Twitter, writing, "On my way to do something incredibly exciting and I am very nervous."
It sounds perfectly innocent and definitely wouldn't bait any kind of harassment, right?
Wrong.

It didn't take long before Brad Long, former YouTuber and longtime internet troll, pounced on Delevingne's tweet to offer her some unsolicited advice.
@Caradelevingne hopefully an interview for a real job. Your looks will fade, Cara. You can't cash in on your eyebrows forever.

Delevingne, being the classy individual she is, responded by giving Long a book suggestion.
@BradTheLadLong Grow up and look at the bigger picture. Maybe try read a book or do something actually worthwhile pic.twitter.com/nlGySqQMcl

Long, however, claimed the model was "being rude" and how he was only trying to help when he insulted her.
@Caradelevingne Stop being rude, Cara. I am just giving you career advice to help you succeed. Maybe listen to it. Might get you somewhere

He then seemed offended that Delevingne didn't know who he was. You know, because he's "very famous."
@Caradelevingne Do you not know who I am? I've had a very successful career I think I know what I'm talking about

@Caradelevingne Well I am very famous so maybe you should update yourself on celeb culture. Anyway, I tried to help. Whatever.

Long then ended the argument to avid helping Delevigne, who has over 7 million Twitter followers to his 11,000, get publicity.
@Caradelevingne Honestly, I am not going to involve myself in an attempt for publicity. Try someone else.

The next day, Delevingne revealed her secret project. She flew to Uganda to team up with Girls Up, a United Nations program that advocates for the health, safety and education of girls in developing countries.
We're in Uganda with @GirlUp Champion @Caradelevingne and UNHCR! Follow our trip all week at #WithRefugees to go inside refugee settlements. pic.twitter.com/9xE4gFjsne

If you're wondering why Long has not responded to this new development it's because he's suffering from a case of foot-in-mouth syndrome.
