A screengrab of the message thread shows a photo of Wilson-Hardy in a black facemask. The recipient follows up by responding, "Genuine chocolate face x" to which Wilson-Hardy replied, "Thought I'd have a better chance with the blacks x."
The conversation tagged Wilson-Hardy and mentioned the Great Britain rugby sevens team by name. The initial poster of the message has since deleted the account.
Wilson-Hardy has not released a statement.
