“I just wanted to reach out and apologize. I am sorry,” she said in a short clip. “I am sorry if I offended anyone by singing along to The Fugees… to a song I love and grew up on.”
She added, “I love Lauryn Hill. And I really am sorry if I offended you.”
Rodriguez then posted another apology, writing: “Whatever consequences I face for my actions, today none will be more hurtful than the personal remorse I feel. Watching my own video playing back at me, has shaken me to my core. It is humiliating that this has to be a public lesson but it is indeed a much deserved lesson.
“I feel so deeply protective and responsible to the community of colour but I have let this community down. I have some serious learning and growing to do and I am so deeply sorry for the pain I have caused.”
