“That’s not who I am, who I was as a teenager.
‘I just want to acknowledge and admit that I am completely disgusted, ashamed and honestly embarrassed at how normal it was for me to speak that way on Twitter and for my friends and me to address each other that way or for me to to sing. participate in rap songs.
“That’s no one’s fault but mine.
