Greer Blitzer is addressing THOSE racist screenshots…
ICYMI, we reported Monday that the 24-year-old Bachelor contestant had some fairly unsavory screenshots of her tweets leaked from again in 2016. In the now-deleted posts, Greer defended a fellow pupil at Lamar High School in Houston, Texas (not Greer), who dressed up in blackface as Tupac for a celebration, which was allegedly organized as some kind of twisted initiation ceremony by upperclassmen, in line with KPRC. At the time, the truth star claimed the sophomore, “didn’t even know what black face was,” so it wasn’t, “an intentional racist act.” She added that the woman “did not paint herself black because she felt superior to black [people],” after which dug herself into and even deeper gap, complaining:
“Putting white powder on your face isn’t okay either. That didn’t make the news did it?”
Where do they discover these individuals??

Now, Greer is addressing the scenario head on.
In a Tuesday Instagram Stories publish, the medical gross sales rep, who acquired Zach Shallcross’ first impression rose throughout the Monday night time premiere of season 27 of The Bachelor, issued an official apology for her “ignorant” feedback:
“The journey to love is filled with lessons and these lessons are also made on our journey of growth. In my past, I have made some uneducated, ignorant and frankly, wrong, comments on my social media accounts. In particular, in 2016, I used misguided arguments on Twitter to defend a student who dressed in Blackface as Tupac for Halloween.”
She continued:
“I am deeply sorry to those I have hurt, especially those within the Black community, not because these screenshots have resurfaced, but because I ever shared these harmful opinions at all. Time and age do not excuse my actions, but this is not a reflection of who I am today. I do not stand by or condone the damaging opinions and behaviors I shared during that stage of my life and will forever regret making those offensive remarks.”

While it’s a well-worded apology, we are able to’t assist however think about she wouldn’t have ever expressed regret had the leaks not resurfaced. As one Reddit person identified:
“If she’s old enough to be on the show then she’s old enough to reflect on her past behaviour and take it down before applying to be on a very popular reality program.”
Right?? Unfortunately, it simply appears to be on-brand for the notorious relationship present…
What are your ideas on Greer’s apology, Perezcious readers? Do you consider it’s real? Do you settle for it? Let us know within the feedback down (beneath).
