Music icon Cher apologized Saturday after claiming she might have prevented the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year.
“Realized,You Can Piss Ppl Off,& Hurt Them By Not Knowing Everything That’s ‘NOT Appropriate’ To Say,” the 74-year-old tweeted. “I know Ppl Apologize When They’re In a Jam,BUT [swear] TO GOD,IM TRULY SORRY If I Upset AnyOne In Blk Community.I Know My [heart].”
On Friday, Cher came under fire after tweeting that she told her mother “I Know This Is Gonna Sound CRAZY,But.. I Kept Thinking …..Maybe If I’d Been There,…I Could’ve Helped.”
She has since deleted the message.
Cher later responded to the criticism. “You Don’t Know What I’ve Done,Who I Am,Or What I Believe,” she wrote. “I CAN,I HAVE,& I WILL..HELP.”
