Gina Rodriguez is facing some serious backlash this morning after an IG post she put up yesterday. It showed her getting her makeup and hair done and singing a Fugees song.
After causing a crap storm on social media from people killin’ her for using a racial slur, she quickly deleted it and posted an apology that many say seems disingenuous to say the least.
People quickly pointed out that she didn’t actually apologize for using the slur.
Gina Rodriguez posted an IG story saying the n-word while singing along to Lauryn Hill's verse on The Fugees' "Ready or Not."
