At the time, fans watching along caught the moment and immediately confronted her in the comments.
"I did?" a seemingly surprised Brown initially said, according to clips from the Live captured by fan account However, Brown issued out a formal statement days later, writing in a statement on her Instagram Stories, "I owe you all a major apology. There is no excuse and I will not justify what I said."
"I have read your messages and seen the hurt I have caused," Brown wrote. "I own it all. I am terribly sorry and know that whether in public or private, this language is unacceptable. I promise to do better." RELATED VIDEO: Bachelorette Hannah Brown Apologizes After Saying N-Word on Instagram: 'There Is No Excuse', "We can't give people a pass for this. We have to hold people accountable for what they're doing."
"Non-black people should not feel okay about saying the word n—. It's wrong," she added. "You should feel disgusted when you say that word. You should feel uncomfortable. That word has so much weight and history behind it. If you don't know, please do yourself a favor and educate yourself on that word. That word was used to make black people feel less than ... and every time you use that word and you're not black, you give that word power.
She was wrong but so was Da Baby. Both need to apologize.
Oh for crying out loud...let this one end. Ridiculous
Enough! Hannah didn’t do this maliciously and has apologized. I’m sure she’s learned a lesson. Let it rest!
How come it’s ok for blacks to call themselves the n word? But when whites let it slip it’s all over?!? Unless it’s used in a completely derogatory way, sometimes it’s just slang, especially if you were raised in the city.
Rachel should focus her energies to get rappers to stop using the N word in their music.
I’m disappointed in TheRachLindsay + viallnicholas28 for fueling hate. HB was wrong, remorseful and apologized. Is learning and growing.
Shame on you - this headline is so misleading. The bulk of this piece is about Hannah being remorseful and wanting to make ammends. Knowing that her role and platform are a place for the greater good and wanting to use it for that. Lead with that info. Make that the damn headline
Why doesn’t this headline read “Rachel Lindsay says Hannah Brown expressed remorse, regret, was sad and admitted wrongdoing and a desire to go live and apologize”. Why? Please help us understand why you trash Hannah still?
She knew the N word was disgusting and vile. She is a coward. She can’t even take responsibility in a mature manner. Support her? Educate her racism. hannahbrown
No one cares how you feel about it TheRachLindsay, and you need to move on girl. It’s a SONG! I was singing along to Jay-Z and linkinpark today, and that word was in there. Did I omit that from my singing, no. Are white people supposed to just skip that part? Wtf?
She always try to be relevant!! So over her!! 🤮🤮
I could be wrong but I thought the meaning of the N word is different now, not a racial slur, the spelling is even different
