It’s not just her making the original comment, but it was her little offhand, “politically incorrect” remark with the so-called apology that made it so much crappier and disingenuous.

[skyler_white_yo]

That was my thought as well. It’s one thing to say something insensitive unintentionally, but to not acknowledge how insensitive it was and be like “oops, lol” feels more insulting. I would have been mortified if I made that type of gaff and apologized profusely.

[kingsuperman]

The original call-out was shitty, but I feel like a big apology would have made things more awkward/embarrassing.

[hiimtish]

It wouldn’t have! Hope that clears that up for you.

[hiimtish]

Yeah like how warped does someone mind have to be to think it’s a “political” issue to bully someone in to standing when they literally cannot. I feel like she’ll start raving about “cancel culture” any second ugh

[kingsuperman]

She was making fun of herself, saying she had been politically incorrect.

[hiimtish]

She was a rude dumbass, it had nothing to do with that phrase even if she said it towards herself.

Not the first time I’ve seen you defend her ‘apology’ and I just want you to know it’s not a good look. Your fave is an ableist prick, don’t defend it.

[kingsuperman]

lol if she was my fave would I have made the original post about it in the first place?

I already said what she did was shitty, but she still apologized when she realized the fan was in a wheelchair. You’re complaining about her making a self-deprecating joke when she realized she messed up.

[hiimtish]

Yeah because the joke is ableist in itself. There’s nothing politically anything about it….it was a way to not take ownership of saying something wrong to brush it off as such.

[sweet_ali]

So you agree, she was making the moment about herself, when she could’ve just made a simple, genuine apology to her fan?
