Vanessa Hudgens has issued a formal apology for her comments about the coronavirus after initially saying they'd been "taken out of context".
On Tuesday evening, Vanessa took to Instagram Live and shared her thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic that's currently sweeping the world and has caused thousands of deaths.
vanessa hudgens got that vid of her being ignorant abt corona deleted.... we got u on tape ma’am !
Referring to the fact that many events due to be held across the summer had now been cancelled, Vanessa said: "'Til July sounds like a bunch of bullshit. I'm sorry, but, like, it's a virus. I get it, I respect it."
"But at the same time," she added, "Even if everybody gets it, yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible but inevitable."
Vanessa's comments caused widespread outrage, with many people taking to social media to call her out for trivialising the pandemic.
“yeah it’s a virus and i respect it but.. “ someone pls tell miss vanessa hudgens that the coronavirus is a literal pandemic. it’s spreading and infecting and killing people all over the world and isolation/quarantine IS the responsible action. it’s not stupid or overdramatic.
What a horrible and heartless message for you to share with the younger people who look up to you @VanessaHudgens https://t.co/p0vIekdigP
The following day she took to Instagram again to say that her comments had been "taken out of context", and that she isn't "taking this situation lightly".
2. @VanessaHudgens says her remarks in the video above have been taken out of context?! She doesn’t explain how she believes her remarks were taken out of context. She adds that everyone should stay in their homes.
"So, yesterday, I did an Instagram Live and I realised today that some of my comments are being taken out of context," she said. "It's a crazy time."
However, this comment led to further backlash, with many people saying it didn't constitute an apology, and questioning how her comments could've been taken out of context considering they were posted by her on Instagram.
So vanessa hudgens says her words were taken out of context.... LMFAO how were they taken out of context when those words came Straight out of your mouth Her true colors showed
Vanessa Hudgens says her words were, “taken out of context”, which really means, “How DARE you interpret what I said, exactly as it was intended to be interpreted?”
vanessa hudgen's thing is even more annoying when her apology begins with 'my comments were taken out of context' .... that's not an apology ! and no ! they ! weren't !
