        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Madison Beer apologized Tuesday over comments she made about the 1955 book &#8220;Lolita,&#8221; telling her 2.8 million Twitter followers she &#8220;misspoke and would never condone inappropriate [sic] relationships of any kind.&#8221;</p><p>The 21-year-old pop star came under fire on Monday <a href="https://twitter.com/blinksapphic/status/1272762683763417088?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">after being asked</a> about Vladimir Nabokov&#8217;s controversial novel, which follows a man&#8217;s obsession with a 12-year-old girl named Dolores Haze.</p><p>&#8220;I said I romanticize it because to me it&#8217;s about a taboo relationship, not about the age. That&#8217;s just how it reads to me,&#8221; Beer said in since-deleted messages, <strong>according to Newsweek</strong>. &#8220;The movie has a much different take and I just liked the storyline. I&#8217;d never condone pedophilia y&#8217;all&#8230; it&#8217;s a fake story and a made-up book.&#8221;</p><p>The hashtag, &#8220;#MadisonBeerIsOverParty,&#8221; became a trending topic on Twitter, with Beer issuing an apology in the early hours of Tuesday morning.</p><p>&#8220;i love u guys &amp; i’m sorry. i misspoke and would never condone inappropriate [sic] relationships of any kind. i’m sincerely sorry for it seeming like i do. let me make it clear &#8211; i do not. have a good night,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/madisonbeer/status/1272749824878587904" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she tweeted</a>.</p><p>Beer also responded to a fan <a href="https://twitter.com/moonlitmyron/status/1272752354941698048" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">who wrote</a>, &#8220;Just be careful w what u say uk, u gotta think even longer before u speak bc of the platform u have.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Yes and i need to b mindful of other people’s experiences and i apologize sincerely,&#8221; the singer replied. &#8220;i’d never want to hurt anyone.&#8221;</p><p>Beer is no stranger to controversy, <strong>recently denying claims</strong> she staged a photo op during a Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles.</p><p>&#8220;the photoshoot rumors are wildly untrue. i have been protesting for days. this is not and never was a photo op it is me standing with a movement and getting out there to spread a message i believe in. that is all,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/madisonbeer/status/1267936582700433409" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Beer tweeted</a> earlier in the month.</p>]]></content:encoded>
