If you have a smartphone (with a camera) and happen to bump into Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima, press “play” and ask her to say something. Maybe ask her to give you the finger. Or a peace sign. Or the howling hand gesture of a murderous Turkish terrorist organization.

Apparently, she’ll do it. Because, as you can see in the following footage, she did do it.

Whoops.

The hand gesture and the word “bozkurtlar” denotes the “Grey Wolves” — a group responsible for killing hundreds in Turkey over the past 40 years and putting four bullets into Pope John Paul II way back in 1981.**

The Brazilian model caught loads of flack when the video was published on a Turkish website and became viral, but quickly responded with an apology and an excuse: she was tricked and had no idea what it meant — according to the Daily Mail and Lima’s spokesperson.

The 34-year-old is currently the second-highest paid model in the entire world.

** – According to the New York Daily News, the pope survived the wounds and almost two decades later requested the shooter — Mehmet Ali — be pardoned and returned safely back to Turkey. Which he was in 2000.
