Candiace Dillard is apologizing for her past homophobic tweets.
The “Real Housewives of Potomac” star, 33, expressed her remorse for statements she made “nearly 10 years ago” via Twitter on Wednesday after the tweets resurfaced.
“To my loyal fanbase, particularly the LGBTQIA+ viewers, thank [you] for your unwavering support. I love you,” she began. “I, alone, am responsible for my words and I deeply regret saying anything that could have hurt my friends, colleagues, family and fans. At the time I was a private citizen, speaking carelessly and crassly as we often do, and for my lack of better judgment, I am sorry.”
Dillard continued that she “always considered” herself to be an ally to the community and that she has “learned and matured over the past decade.”
“I am still evolving,” she wrote. “The language I used carelessly wasn’t acceptable back then, and it isn’t acceptable now. I acknowledge that my words were hurtful, and for that I am deeply sorry.”
Dillard acknowledged that she wants to move forward and that she remains “committed to the fight for equality for all.”
She concluded, “While I’ve personally experienced the pain of disenfranchisement as a Black woman, I will never know firsthand the hurt many LGBTQIA+ people experience from pervasive discrimination, family rejection, barriers to employment, homelessness, homophobia, transphobia and more.”
Maybe this will give people another reason to watch “RHOP.”
A rep for Dillard didn’t immediately get back to us.
