“I am very proud to be a Republican,” said Nguyen, who took 'full responsibility' for the posts … all while suggesting someone else shared them (via toofab)
Nguyen argued that her stance doesn't make her racist, it instead makes her"compassionate for the people that are suffering.""And I know a lot of people are suffering without being involved in the movement," she said."Mentally, physically, we all are dealing with it."
At another point in the video, Nguyen said,"We're all human, we make mistakes. ... I made a mistake. And to say, this is the only mistake I made, no I make tons of mistakes in my lifetime. Am I going to continue to make a mistake? Of course. Am I going to learn from it? Absolutely. Am I going to learn and adapt and teach? Of course I am, but I'm still human, we're all human."
"What matters is that I hurt people, I hurt my fans, I hurt the people that are out there supporting me, and I feel really, really, really awful for that," she added."I hope you understand that I will continue to change and learn and improve myself. From your point of view, from my friends' point of view, from my fans' point of view, I will take that to heart and learn and adapt.
On Tuesday, Bravo confirmed that it had officially severed ties with Nguyen with a statement."Bravo has ceased filming with Jennie Nguyen and she will no longer be a cast member of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.' We recognize we failed to take appropriate action once her offensive social media posts were brought to our attention. Moving forward, we will work to improve our processes to ensure we make better informed and more thoughtful casting decisions."
