Fans felt hurt for Richards, with some saying Mendoza was seeking attention or that the action was something personal.

But just before a full-on fan war could break out, Mendoza apologized and said it had just been a simple case of a wrong click.

“No bad blood here,” she tweeted and included a gif of her as the endearing YayaDub.
Aside from sighs of relief, others joked that she must have been “stalking” Richards’ profile and accidentally pressed the wrong button.
