After spending some time in my remote, luxurious estate to reflect and listen, I’ve realized that I need to address what happened. The world we live in isn’t perfect, and neither am I. My actions on the day in question are simply a product of that. I guess it’s time for me to apologize. 

What I did goes against everything that I (and the brands that sponsor me) stand for. It was born purely out of ignorance. But to be fair, I didn’t know it was wrong and no one stopped me. I think things just got out of hand. That’s on me, though. And everyone else involved, if you really think about it. 

To the people I hurt — I’m sorry I made you feel that way. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I recognize now how my words deeply harmed some communities, but that’s not how I meant it. It just came out like that. We live in a time where everyone is very sensitive, but I’m just not like that. I wasn’t exposed to those things in my upbringing and I am very sorry. 

Now I understand that I have power and privilege, and I should use it to do better by reposting important stuff on my Instagram story. I’ve been taking a break from social media because of all of the hate I’ve been receiving, but I’ll be back as soon as my manager lets me back in. 

I just want to move on from this. It’s not an accurate representation of who I am and the memes are not that funny. Please stop making them. 

I also intend to learn from this situation. That’s why I’ll be keeping you all updated with a YouTube series of my healing journey! Remember to like, subscribe and hit that bell icon! I am very sorry and hope I can do better. 

Sending love! <3 XOXO
