The mayor of a town in Texas is looking more than a little foolish after she was apparently caught disregarding her own stay-at-home orders to take a little trip down to the nail salon.

Becky Ames of Beaumont, Texas issued a “Stay Home Work Safe” order for her city on March 27. On April 3, Governor Greg Abbott gave similar instruction to the entire state of Texas, requiring that people stay home “except to provide essential services or do essential things like going to the grocery store.”

However, a photo showing Ames sitting inside The Nail Bar began circulating on social media on April 21.

The stay-at-home orders were active throughout the state at the time the mayor was seen inside the salon.

@GregAbbott_TX are you aware that Beaumont, TX Mayor Becky Ames violated your order about nail salons today when the Nail Bar in Beaumont opened to allow her to “buy product”? Last time I checked, you didn’t have to soak your nails to buy something. Open us up!!!! pic.twitter.com/9GFt6Oosn2 — Gregory Rice (@Liberate_TX_NOW) April 22, 2020

It’s unclear where the photo originated, though it seems to have come from some sort of security footage, and according to local 12News, its original appearance was not on a public social media account.

The claim that accompanied the photo was that Ames broke isolation to get a manicure.

But according to both her and the owner of the nail salon, Ames reached out with a question pertaining to the removal of an old manicure set. The owner of the salon said she would need acetone, and promised to leave some out for her, but supposedly left it out in a bowl inside the salon, resulting in the photo of Ames soaking her nails.

The salon was reportedly empty except for the owner and Ames, and the owner told local news that surveillance footage backs this story up.

The incident drew outrage from people across the political spectrum.

Those who are frustrated with what they believe are unnecessary lockdown requirements throughout the country began pointing to Ames’ actions, whereas people who believe abiding by the orders is necessary to contain the spread of COVID-19 were equally frustrated at the example set by the mayor.

Our elites can break every rule they enforce on us and nothing happens.

Mothers are getting arrested for taking their kids to a park, but this mayor gets private nail treatment at a closed salon. https://t.co/rQ6H9qTErP — ✭ Wayne Dupree 😷 (@WayneDupreeShow) April 23, 2020

Ames issued an apology two days after the photo first went up.

“I should never have entered the salon last Tuesday,” she wrote in a statement shared to Facebook. “I did not intend to take personal privilege while asking others to sacrifice and for that I am truly remorseful.”

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office are looking into the matter after receiving multiple complaints, and will determine if a violation occurred.
