Julianne Hough Says She Regrets Using Blackface Amid 'Activist' Backlash

-- for a new reality competition series,"The Activist" premiering next month, where she judges 6 activists competing to bring attention to their causes.

The show was slammed as tone-deaf ... and Julianne addressed the concerns head on. She said,"I heard you say that the show was performative, promoted pseudo-activism over real activism, felt tone-deaf, like Black Mirror, The Hunger Games, and that the hosts weren’t qualified to assess activism because we are celebrities and not activists."Julianne said that with some people only now finding out about her blackface scandal ... it"only further added insult to injury.

She admits she's NOT an activist, and agrees she's not qualified to act as a judge ... but said she was excited to do the show because she wanted"to be part of something that highlights, and is centered around sharing activists' work on a larger platform."

Dang I thought she was cool

Give that show 4 episodes before it’s yanked for abysmal ratings regardless of judges.

Always them being racist,oh well no one cares now!

I wonder if the wayon Brothers regret this because I'm offended lol

Everything about this is stupid.

Her PR team just say white privilege and everything will be fine.

No you don't. You regret people finding out about it.

Oh get over it... This is so petty... There are so many who has wore black face don't see everyone losing their cool over it.. Joy Behar for one..

Well her surname does rhyme with HO!!!

At this point in the game, she can't even say she didn't know. EVERYONE knows black face is a bad thing to do. 🤦‍♀️

There’s only regret when it affects the pocketbook $$$.

Hollywood is twisting itself in knots to be woke and tearing itself up in the process. It's a pointless moving target set by bored ninnies.

How can we kill this show before it comes to life?

😒

Backlash from black face should be called blacklash
