The 'Jane the Virgin' star caused outrage on Tuesday when she sang the N-word in a line from Fugees' 'Ready or Not,' which was originally rapped by Lauryn Hill.
Rodriguez quickly began trending worldwide on Twitter as social media users called her out on her use of the N-word in the video, which many found especially egregious because of a past controversy over racism.
In a statement posted on Instagram on Wednesday morning, Rodriguez said she is"deeply sorry for the pain I have caused" and conceded the N-word comes with a"legacy of hurt and pain that I cannot even imagine."In song or real life, the words that I spoke, should not have been spoken. I grew up loving the Fugees and Lauryn Hill. I thoughtlessly sang along to the lyrics of a favorite song, and even worse, I posted it.
The word I sang carries with it a legacy of hurt and pain that I cannot even imagine. Whatever consequences I face for my actions today, none will be more hurtful than the personal remorse I feel. Watching my own video playing back at me has shaken me to my core. It is humiliating that this has to be a public lesson but it is indeed a much deserved lesson.
I feel so deeply protective and responsible to the community of color but I have let this community down.
