Blake Shelton posted a message on Twitter yesterday, apologizing for those old, offensive Tweets that resurfaced on Saturday. They were from 2008 and 2011, and he’d deleted them since then.
But someone with the Twitter handle @MusicFactsTea posted old screenshots of them online. At first people though they were fake, but Blake’s been in trouble for saying stupid stuff on Twitter before, so…yeah. Here’s his apology:
“Everyone knows comedy has been a major part of my career and it’s always been out there for anyone to see. That said, anyone that knows me also knows I have no tolerance for hate of any kind or form.
“Can my humor at times be inappropriate and immature? Yes. Hateful? Never. That said I deeply apologize to anybody who may have been offended.”
So he’s not sorry for saying the stuff he does, he’s just sorry if someone takes it the wrong way. Which probably won’t be enough for some people.
Here are some of the things he posted.
In 2008, “Grown men who wear Chuck Taylor’s may as well write on their foreheads ‘Cucumbers turn me on!’”
In 2011, “Standing in line at a coffee shop in L.A. talking with the man in front of me. He orders a skinny caramel latte. I couldn’t tell he was gay!”
