Miss Universe 2018: Miss USA Sarah Summers apologizes but the internet is in no mood to forgive her
Social media fired at Summers after an Instagram video surfaced of her, and two other contestants discussing Miss Cambodia's grasp of the English language.
After facing immense online criticism, Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers has apologized for her xenophobic comment on fellow Miss Universe contestant Miss Cambodia Rern Sinat. In an Instagram post, Summers said, "In a moment where I intended to admire the courage of a few of my sisters, I said something that I now realize can be perceived as not respectful, and I apologize. My life, friendships, and career revolve around me being a compassionate and empathetic woman. I would never intend to hurt another," she said alongside a photograph of Summers hugging fellow contestants. "I am grateful for opportunities to speak with Nat, Miss Cambodia, and H'Hen, Miss Vietnam, directly about this experience. These are the moments that matter most to me."
