'I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offense to it' — Mark Ronson on sapiosexual controversy

‘s interview — which was presented live on Wednesday at Ralph Lauren’s New York City Prince Street location — the DJ/recording artist/producer was candid about not being fully informed about the identification. “I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community and I apologize if anybody misunderstood or took offense to it.”

Ronson explained that he was told that the show had a recent segment on sapiosexuality and they asked him how he felt about it. “What is it?” he asked. He said they explained it as: “Well, when you’re attracted to intelligence.” And he said, “That sounds great. Of course, who wouldn’t be?” “And they were like basically like, ‘OK, Mark Ronson identifies himself as sapiosexual, that’s great,'” he continued. “And then they proceeded to ask me about Miley Cyrus’ dating life and something else I probably wasn’t that informed to talk about, either, and then that was it.”

After the show, Ronson said he went back to his hotel and saw that his remarks were making headlines. “It sounds like I went on a TV show to be like, ‘Guys, I have some big news!’ And the fact that I would go on and sort of declare myself — like as a heterosexual white male — part of any marginalized community was terrifying to me, or just embarrassing.”

Ronson says, at first, that he wasn’t that worried about what he said; he thought that perhaps his comments would be put in context and viewers would understand. “But that’s not what happens on Twitter anymore,” he added.

His father in the group foreigner. He went to school in Nutley New Jersey and he is gay.

since he works in the music industry he has to be politically correct. Sorry he’s straighter than a pole.

People complain about being labeled, but then they label themselves and expect others to utilize those labels when referring to them, but get upset if it's not in their perceived proper context. No wonder everyone's so angry; we're all friggin' confused!

I'm so confused what does sapiosexual mean? Or is it a big spelling mistake?

Who cares. End of.

Lighten up already

“Marginalized community”? Does he even know what he is talking about?Yes, he is definitely not into intelligence.

Not arsed, got bigger issues to deal with

Well, thanks for messing us about!

He must have looked up the definition after his statement. Still shouldn't be internet abused.

Marginalized my ass

Just say u like ur women smart bruh

No one cares.

Get a life his sexuality isn’t y’all prno ones business

This is what happens when you make acceptance seeking statements in hopes that others will “approve” of you.

Who fucking cares what he said. He shouldn't have apologized.

JayneEEgerton 'I do not consider myself part of any marginalized community.' WHA-A-AT, he doesn't want to pose as a victim and insist he is oppressed? Whatever can be wrong with this guy? NB He's quite good looking isn't he?

Imagine having to apologize to people for your own sexuality. Wtf 🤣

DON'T APOLOGISE TO THE MOBTARDS PLEASE PEOPLE 🙄🙄🙄🖕🖕🖕🖕👌👌👌😅

Damn, he’s cute, and I AM, incidentally, intelligent enough to know.

I’m more offended that everything he’s worked on post-Winehouse is garbage.

In an era where people keep attempting to fashion their own tastes and preferences into new identities, I find it weird that someone would have to apologise for attaching a label to his tastes and preferences.

According to the definition of Sapiosexual he got it right the first time. Why apoligize and allow others perceptions and jokes to bother you? By applying any sexuality such as bi, gay, straight etc to sapiosexual that creates a incorrect definition of what Sapiosexual is. All❤

Where is the men in white coats 🙄🙄

What I meant was I want a woman who's almost as smart as I am, and with giant jugs

People using these terms sets back the people who use valid sexualities.

Who cares

lol he's so irrelevant

The Supreme Court has been asked to resolve and address competing interpretations of Title VII’s prohibition of discrimination because of “sex.”

This is the most groundbreaking news I've heard all week.

so dumb

Smart people were hitting on Ronson so hard, he threw up the white flag!

Just when I found someone like me in this lonely world.. I will never be the same.

Who the hell is Mark Ronson?!?

Oh good, I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that. 🤨 Jesus, the world is going to hell in a handbag with all this PC, ‘ woke ’ bullshit. FOAD

😭😭 RonsonRolled

Seeing this and reading the replies is reminder number 99,876 that heteros are truly the weakest link.

Goosy thought it meant he loved trees

“I’m straight” - Mark Ronsom

Mark apologies for making joke! (half hearted and rightly so)

Y’all can’t think of anything else to cover right now? NOTHING?!?!

Obviously; there's no such thing 🙈

Wtf is a sapiosexual

Not to worry, Sam Smith is still they/them!

So he’s not a idiot

MarkRonson’s apology must come as a relief to eggheads everywhere, & to his fans. A dude who finds high intelligence more alluring than a pretty face!? Can such an affliction really exist? Sweet Jesus, is there no bottom to the sinkhole of sexual depravity?

See nobody care about any of this because this world is getting stupid enough as it is.

That's what happens when you talk to those idiots.

Sees the community he’s about to join.... nahhhhhhhh

Is he now saying he’s not an intellectual snob🤔

Fos.

What the hell is sapiosexual? Are we just making shit up as we go along now? And whatever its is, why would anyone be offended by it?

I wouldn’t have apologized. I’m sorry your tender feelings were hurt, but at the end of the day, that really doesn’t mean anything

A wise man once said nothing.

When Mark Ronson attempts to exploit marginalized communities for personal gain and press...

Friendsexual because I’m only attracted to people who looks like the cast of friends

Who would be offended by that. Seriously.

Genki_Rocket

And we wonder what's wrong with the world!

He’s ok...just

. The story is the perfect commentary to show how bogus all of these different 'identifyings' are! Most of the human race has, and still does, know that they were created male and female, to make families and enjoy normal sex. Period. Intelligence is attractive. So what!?

Who cares?

And the guy keeps getting attention and laughter. You started it ronson now the attention and jokes won’t end

Well we certainly wouldn't want you to have to be part of any marginalized community, would we?

Wow this guy really needs attention from the looks of it.

Why is he apologising? He didn't 'come out' for anyone but himself.

It’s trending because nobody knows what a sapiosexual is. Or did Rolling Stone ask him if he was sapiosexual and he had no idea so he said yes.

🙄

Who?

I consider myself SaxioSexual

😂😂😂😂😂 This is too much.

Lips on microphone. That's disgusting.

I’m just wondering where’d the British accent go ?

What a lovely man 😊

I haven’t seen anyone really mad so I’m wondering what’s actually real here. Is that SaiyaJinSexual a real thing?

It’s good that Mark finds all that as bemusing and amusing as I do. I think the whole thing says not much about Mark and everything about how ridiculous Good Morning Britain is 😂

Who cares ?

What's wrong with this people.

Who and what?

I’m an old fashioned kind of gal - going out getting shitfaced and sleeping with someone either fit of funny - either one was fine! 90s

Yes because you fucking aren't!

He's agent probably thought 'what can we do to make him more relevant and current, I know I'll tell him to come out as a stupid made up sexuality' Mark then googles it then retracks his statement 😂😂

Typical gender-fluid move, that.

Being attracted to intelligent people isn't offensive or bad. SJWFTW 🙄

I’ll take “things people don’t care about that still somehow end up trending on twitter” for 500, Alex.

Mmm he's so fineeee

buffani you have a chance now!!!!

Hahaaa I bet he didn't know what it meant

This is getting ridiculous now😒

TeamHale

This is a real thing that people actually admit to? How vain, shallow and pretentious.

Instead he identifies as a street lamp

Who?

Make it stop. He's too beautiful to end up with some Brexit voting yob. 🙄🙄🙄

This is embarrassing journalism and embarrassing that we spend time arguing about this. Life is really too good if these are the problems we fret about.

He's not afraid to apologize.

I’m surprised I could actually understand him. Couldn’t understand a fucking word he said on gogglebox 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

I can’t keep up with all these words lol

The made up sexuality that mocks LGBT people

...he seems sincere in his apology.

Just imagine this, just imagine, ok ok just think about all the fucks I do not give.

Is that where you like when girls stick a pinky up your butt, dominate you and make you watch rom coms?

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

As a pathologicalliarosexual I am so turned on right now!!!

Girl bye

Actually nobody cares. It's your life do what you want. Jeez I am tired of celebrities thinking they need a grand audience to spout off what they 'think' nobody cares!

I guess he can now go back to loving himself.

Jews are very protective of their identity and shared struggle. Deciding to be openly gay used to have devastating personal and career consequences. I'm not sure when gays decided to give away their unique 'coming out' experience to every attention-seeker with a thesaurus.

Sometimes I scroll through twitter and wonder how some things are news. It never ceases to amaze me.

Wowowow I literally could not care less

He should apologise for his absolute stupidity

Duh, he has no clue what he is talking about.

Lol i swear theres a new sexuality every other week ...... 👀🙃

You lost me at ‘sapiosexual’

Who gives a flying fuck

In other words not at all attracted to a magat moron GOP...I must also identify as same.

I’m myself am a dumbasserysexual - one who puts up with just about any dumbass behavior because she is exhausted and secretly hoped to win the Lotto and relocate to a sunny climate alone. I’m older now and in full recovery. I mean, she is.

This guy realized he wasn’t a sapiosexual when he got a boner from reading all the dumb tweets people wrote about him.

Barf you

FUCK EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS PART OF MY FEED

That’s an apology to whatever he said to offend people

Jesus Christ the whole world is gone fucking insane. Mark, don’t apologize for that shit.

Is he not allowed to be attracted to only intelligent people? I’m not rushing out to date a trump supporter. We all have standards

Great, another boring straight dude. Need more of those 😏😏😏

Now that he is no longer identifying as sapiosexual does that mean he’s attracted to unintelligent people? This stuff is all new to me. 😂

BREAKING: A guy I’ve never heard of is not a thing I’ve never heard of.

He’s making fun of the idiots who come up with this crap

I don't even know who this person is.

Very important number one trend on Twitter. This social media website is a dumpster fire.

Who?

I think everyone needs the calm app or something

The notion that LGBT are 'marginalized' in any way is fucking hilarious.

Aw yes another mental illness is discovered

Yet another disgusting straight, cis, white male trying to capitalize on a scrutinized community

The only Ronson that matters is Jon

That’s sad that intelligent people are considered a marginalized community. But then look who people voted into the White House! Maybe intelligent people are becoming extinct.

does he? or he doesn’t 🤔

Omg don't go back in the closet you're so sexy

Sapiosexual... thought it meant he had so. E sort of dinosaur fetish.

who's confused as hell..?

sensationalism at its finest

Messy

same.

But he's Jewish.

I love how this popped up in my feed 1.I can’t believe if you scroll thru it there is a vmz article about how if your “dumb people” you still have a chance lol. 2 I’m appalled that if you are accused of being something your not you have to say sorry and apologize it’s rediculous

Is a sapiosexual marginalized? Asking for a friend... dazedandconfused

His publicist wrote this. The smirk on his face says it all

Here we go! Now the liberals will want SAPIOSEXUALS to have civil rights and will attempt to introduce legislation so they aren't DISCRIMINATED AGAINST by REGULAR-SEXUALS.

Hahah

Just stop 🛑 enough of this BS

All this coming out and all these categories are so bananas....who is coming up with these names and definitions!! Wtf....ridiculous

Nobody took offence, Mark. We don't care what you have to say.

Intelligence has always been overrated

🤡🤡🤡

He is Jewish.

Today I finally came out of the closet as a college football fan. As many people as possible need to be aware of this.

WTF MARK I JUST BECAME A BIG FAN?!!!! IM GOING TO SELL ALL OF THE ALBUMS YOU MADE!!!!! angry

Did he apologize for ruining the last QOTSA record?

Y'know, he has nothing to apologize for.

A nobody said nothing. Thanks.

Mark sweetie that’s not an apology!

awwww leave him alone!~
