Facebook/TVIBelgian 17-year-old Axelle Despiegelaere became internet famous this week after photos of her in the stands at the World Cup went viral and led to a L'Oreal modeling contract.A Facebook fan page for Axelle has accumulated over 230,000 likes and u pon her arrival back to Belgium, the attractive teen set up a Facebook page of her own that has over 19,000 fans.
Axelle filled her page with photos from her trip to Brazil - rooting for Belgium dressed in the country's paraphernalia, enjoying the beach in a bikini, and funny photoshops.
But one photo Axelle posted was unlike the rest - a picture of her holding a rifle, proudly sitting behind what appears to be a dead gazelle she shot while hunting.
The caption read: 'Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It's much more important than that..this was about 1 year ago...ready to hunt Americans today haha.' facebook.com/Axelle.Despiegelaere
Fans were immediately outraged by the image. Realizing the post may be offensive, Axelle changed the caption to read simply: 'this was about 1 year ago...' facebook.com/Axelle.Despiegelaere

By Thursday morning, Axelle's entire Facebook page had been deleted.
