MailOnline has contacted the Scottish Fashion Association for comment and Ms Thomson for comment.
The music video shows a blonde woman in cream shorts ostensibly struggling with security personnel at Peffermill Playing Fields in Edinburgh, where the rugby matches took place.
The spectator who filmed the images told the Daily Record newspaper: ‘I recognized her from school. We clocked her earlier in the day, we knew she was there.’
He added: ‘A lot of people saw it and filmed it – you couldn’t see it happening. She is intended as an ambassador for Scotland. If this was just another person, nobody would care, but in that context it’s different.”
Allegations of racism have surfaced on social media in the days following the incident, with one post stating, “This individual violently racially and physically assaulted our friend today while he was at work in public.”
