“Ready or Not” while getting her hair done. However, the internet being what it is, it quickly made the rounds on social media anyway. On Tuesday afternoon, she posted a tempered mea culpa. “I just wanted to reach out and apologize,” the actress, 35, said into the camera. “I am sorry. I am sorry if I offended anyone by signing along to the Fugees — to a song I love, that I grew up on. I love Lauryn Hill, and I really am sorry if I offended you.”
Twitter users attacked the Latina actress for using the term and dragging beloved Fugees frontwoman Hill into the controversy. Others came to Rodriguez’s defense, saying she wasn’t using the lyric as a slur and pointing to the N-word’s ubiquitous use in Latinx communities. The “Miss Bala” star’s Wikipedia page was briefly edited to describe her as an “anti-black” actress.
