Gina Rodriguez Apologizes for N-Bomb Video
After facing backlash online, Rodriguez removed the video and issued an apology stating, "I just wanted to reach out and apologize. I'm sorry. I am sorry if I offended anyone by singing along to the Fugees, to a song I love that I grew up on. I love Lauryn Hill and I really yam sorry if I offended you."
See the offending video and the subsequent apology below.
I stopped watching Jane the Virgin because Gina Rodriquez is very anti black, the fact that she said the n word and had the balls to post it on her story.. the things she said abt the black community hurts enough and this hurts even more pic.twitter.com/HyoL5DDfz3

Twitter has responded to her apology, with some users implying that the Jane the Virgin actor doesn't seem sincere.

That apology Gina Rodriguez said was so half assed. Sis knew what she did was 100% wrong as hell. Just because you lived in the hood you so call say don't mean you get a pass for saying nigga, nigger, niggett, nick gerr or any type of nig. Bitch is in her 30's and she kno betta.

"By singing along to the Fugees".
This is an example of someone being deliberately obtuse. Gina Rodriguez KNOWS she offended people, not for singing a song but for saying the N-word. If the apology is going to be insincere, just keep quiet. https://t.co/tCjVenvcTs
