Amazon Prime India Apologizes After Mocking Woman’s Engagement Ring Using TV Meme

Amazon Prime India faced significant backlash after its official social media account mocked a woman's engagement ring by comparing it to a notoriously small ring from the show The Summer I Turned Pretty. Savannah Monroe, the woman whose engagement ring was ridiculed, expressed that the post led to overwhelming negative and judgmental comments, causing her and her fiancé harassment. The streaming service's meme, which referenced a controversial proposal scene featuring a modest ring, was widely condemned as mean-spirited and inappropriate for targeting a real person's happy moment. Following the public outcry, Amazon Prime India deleted the post and issued an apology, acknowledging the hurt caused and committing to better reflect values of inclusivity in the future. Despite the apology, many social media users called for more substantial reparations, including monetary compensation or public outreach to Monroe. The incident sparked broader discussions about the ethics of online behavior and the impact of large companies engaging in personal attacks on individuals via social media.
