The actress attempted to issue an apology on the matter, but lots of folks aren’t so sure of the authenticity.
In a statement posted to her Facebook page, the actress claims she feels her views may have been taken out of context but she does understand she needs to be part of the “solution” and not the problem.
She writes:
My comments about discrimination have spun out of control.
I’d like to begin by saying that I was not attacking a specific race, but repeating a name that was said in a viral video which has received over 2 million likes.
I have been denied many jobs because of my skin color, body size, and age. Each time I was rejected, my self esteem was negatively effected, so i empathize with those who feel victimized by what I said. We would hope that when it comes to hiring, our names, physical appearance, sexual orientation, and age would never outweigh our qualifications, but often times, they do, thats the truth and it sucks. But I should not be part of the problem, I should be part of the solution.
As an equal opportunity employer, I have never discriminated against a name….even though I said I would, it’s not true. My comment was in poor taste. My lack of empathy towards name discrimination was uncalled for. I would also like to say that on Friday my account was hacked, those are not my words.
That’s so Raven….
LOL. Perfect.
I love it.
No one believes this PR apology… U haven’t been relevant since “Olivia” on the Cosby show. Karma will have her day with her….
She could have kept this forced apology. She said how she really feels and now people know there’s no need for the black community to support her any longer.
Not buying it.
I wish she would shut the f-ck up forever.
Me too. All she does is get on TV and say dumb ish about black people. I’m tired of her.
I’m actually glad she took the View job because now she’s exposed herself so much that people are no longer blinded by who she was on the Cosby show. The truth is out and that’s a good thing.
I see ABC told her to shut this down ASAP before the boycotts started. Anyway, I won’t ever watch The View again.
But she meant what she said though.
she sucks
Fish breath knew her coins were in trouble so she issued out this weak a-s apology. It’s too late. Even white people see she’s a c–n now. When white women have to check you on your new black sh-t, you really f-cked up.
LMBO. Who made her write this? ABC or her dad?
Anyone notice this uncle tom never talks badly about the gays though? It’s like she knows black people can be dogged out and she won’t lose anything for doing it. But she will tread carefully with the gays though.
Being Gay to her over-rides being Black & Gay
*sighs*
Her little apology means nothing to me.
Me either. Especially when she will just say something else just as ignorant before the year is over.
It’s too late. Besides the name thing, she’s said a lot of messed up things about black people. Enough is enough.
I’m pretty sure she doesn’t really regret what she said. She’s just saying this now so she won’t lose the only job she has right now.
I just can’t believe what she grew up to be. Man I think most of us loved her when were little because she was the one child star who seemed to have it together. Man we were wrong.
I still don’t like the bish.
People need to stop watching the view.
Nothing was taken out of context, she said what she said and that’s how she really felt. Tthe only reason her c–n a-s is even backtracking is cause she knows she messed up bad this time.
She’s trash.
When they show you who they are, believe them!! No one is buying that weak a$& apology. Smh
why this bish wasnt on full house or boy meets world then since she so fuccin white these mulatto dont need to eat off us then but ns desperate to mix are so easily stupid to believe the 1 drop rule open for fuccin usurpin bich
