‘Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ star Jennie Nguyen addresses Facebook posts about racism and anti-BLM

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City released by the star Jennie Nguyen an apology after the fans started circulating racist Facebook post she shared amid the protests following the death of George Floyd.

“I want to acknowledge and apologize that my deleted Facebook posts from 2020 have reappeared today,” the freshman wrote on Instagram Wednesday afternoon on Instagram. “At the time, I thought I was speaking out against violence.” (It should be noted that this is a rather ironic statement, considering one of the posts mentioned was a caricature of a woman bragging about how many rioters she hit with my car.)

“Since then, I have learned how offensive and hurtful my words can be,” she continued. “That’s why I deactivated that account over a year ago, and why I keep trying to learn about views that differ from my own. I regret those posts and sincerely apologize for the pain they have caused.”

Screenshots of Nguyen’s account since the shutdown show retweets of anti-Black memes and condemnation of Black Lives Matter protesters. One post reads “If you follow the officer’s orders, you won’t get shot”, on Ken Jeong’s character image in Community cupped his hand around his open mouth. Many posts show strong support for the police, including one that says: “I’m sick of people saying police need more training. You’ve got 18 years to teach your kids that it’s wrong to loot, steal, burn buildings, block traffic, shine lasers in people’s eyes, flip cars, destroy buildings, and attack. citizen. “

Based on Page six, Nguyen also shared a completely fabricated, completely fabricated story about Floyd assaulting a woman in Spain.

All of this would be a lousy look to anyone, but Nguyen has particularly misled much of her plot this season (after failing to generate interest with an obvious plot). fake sister-in-law) when calling co-star Mary Cosby for her racist comments.

Cosby has been embroiled in her own controversy this season, with some Housewives questioning her lavish lifestyle and the way she runs her Faith Temple Pentecostal Church. As The Daily Beast’s Cheyenne Roundtree report Late last year, several former members of the church accused her of running the church like a cult.

As if that weren’t dramatic enough for a season (and it’s not even the tip of the iceberg), the past few episodes of RHSLC much of it focused on the offensive remarks Cosby made about Nguyen and Jen Shah. She describes Nguyen’s skin as a “yellow tint” and comments on her “slanted eyes”. Cosby also compared Shah, who was charged with money laundering last year and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, to “Mexican thugs”. Nguyen has headed the charge to hold Cosby accountable for her words, though Cosby has refused to apologize or admit wrongdoing.

Of course, true devotees know that quick and sincere apologies are rare in this world Housewives universe as sensible shoes or happy marriages. Perhaps Nguyen is taking a page out of singer Ramona’s book “the Apologizer” with her latest Instagram post. But it’s safe to assume, if she is brought back for a second season, this won’t be the last we hear about Nguyen’s Facebook history.
