Heather Rae Young talks deleting Tarek El Moussa tattoo picture: 'I don’t like negativity on my page'
'Selling Sunset' star's 'Yes sir, Mr. El Moussa' tattoo received backlash
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Heather Rae Young is not tolerating any negativity when it comes to her new tattoo.
In early February, the "Selling Sunset" star was excited to show off her new ink online but quickly deleted the photo after promptly receiving backlash. Now, Young is opening up about her decision to delete the picture.
"It was completely taken out of context, and the whole meaning of it was blown way out of proportion," Young, 33, told Us Weekly on Tuesday. "And so, obviously you saw, I took it down. We woke up the next morning, and it was, like, so much negativity surrounded by something that was meant for my fiancé and meant with so much love."

In deleting the photograph, Young noted that it only "stirred up more controversy" and fostered "negativity" on her page.

Young then spoke about the story behind the very specific phrase she got inked on her hip.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"It’s something cute we do around the house," she said. "It’s like, you know, Daddy’s the boss and Heather’s the boss. And so, he’ll say something and I’m like, ‘Yes, sir.’ And then I’m like, ‘Yes, sir, Mr. El Moussa.’ And he’ll say, ‘Yes, ma’am, Ms. El Moussa.’"

"I know that they say names are the kiss of death for tattoos, but it’s [going to be] my last name too, right?" she continued.
