Apple Martin Denies Expulsion Rumor, Plans Acting Career After Vanderbilt

A viral Le Bal clip fueled the claim, with peers plus her mother saying it distorts her behavior.

Overview

  • In an Instagram story on Feb. 16, the 21-year-old said reports that she was expelled for bullying are “completely untrue” and that the rumor spun out of control.
  • She told Vogue she left behind plans for law school, loves acting and dance, and aims to pursue performance after graduating from Vanderbilt in May.
  • The allegation traces to a 2024 Le Bal des Débutantes clip that appears to show her interrupting a photoshoot, which friends say was taken out of context.
  • Fellow debutante Aliénor Loppin de Montmort described her as “incredibly nice” and “generous toward all debutantes.”
  • Gwyneth Paltrow told Access Hollywood that her children's actions face heightened scrutiny because of their famous parents, as discussion over “nepo babies” continues.
