RHONY stars speak out after trans model says their comments – which were shared on Sonja’s own Instagram Stories -- were “hurtful” and “damaging” (via toofab)
"We have a history as long-standing supporters of the LGBTQ community in many ways and apologize for our offensive comments at the fashion show," they said, jointly.
Before the apology, Petty had made a lengthy statement of her own: "As a transgender woman, I've never thought of myself as a model. But I have always tried to fully embrace who I am in whatever I do. Sometimes that requires being vulnerable and brave. I was excited to model in a runway show for Garo Sparo at New York Fashion Week, an artist who celebrates diversity and authenticity.
"People don't get to choose their sexual orientation or gender identity," the model continued. "What people do get to choose though is projecting rude and cruel behavior toward other people over for things they have no control over. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. But we as a society, must do better."
She concluded: "People in positions of influence and power must do better. And to any trans woman out there feeling inadequate as a woman, keep strutting honey."
