Gina Rodriguez Apologizes After Receiving Backlash For Saying The N-Word ‘I’m Sorry If I Offended Anyone’

“Jane The Virgin” actress Gina Rodriguez faced tons of criticism for saying the n-word on social media Tuesday (Oct. 15). She posted a video on her Instagram story where she rapped a Fugees song that included that controversial word.

She later issued a couple of apologies after receiving lots of backlash on social media. She has also turned off her Instagram comments for now.

Still, many were unbothered and unmoved by her apology. One even pointed out this isn’t the first time she’s been caught saying it.

This is NOT #GinaRodriguez’s first time saying Nigga. She’s been mad comfortable in her anti Blackness for much too long?, in fact I’d say it’s opened doors: https://t.co/CXutE4oJsC
