Camila Cabello posts an apology on social media for past offensive comments

Popular singer Camila Cabello says she’s “deeply sorry” for racist and xenophobic social media posts she posted in the past, saying she was “uneducated and ignorant.” She says the posts, which were discovered on a Tumblr account believed to belong to Cabello, are not reflective of who she is today.

“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” Cabello wrote. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it.”

Cabello said she didn’t intend to hurt anyone with her insensitive language.

“I would never intentionally hurt anyone and I regret it from the bottom of my heart. As much as I wish I could, I can’t go back in time and change things I said in the past. But once you know better, you do better and that’s all I can do,” Cabello wrote. “I’m 22 now, I’m an adult and I’ve grown and learned and am conscious and aware of the history and the pain it carries in a way I wasn’t before…I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart.”
