After being fired from 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' for her old racist social media posts, Jennie Nguyen has come up with an explanation in an Instagram Live on Wednesday, Jan 26. According to Jennie Nguyen, 44, her then social media team shared the offensive posts in 2020 on one of her non-verified personal Facebook pages that existed before she was a part of the RHOSLC show.

While talking about the posts then, many of those posts mocked the Black Lives Matter movement and protesters in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, and contained phrases like 'BLM Thugs' and 'Violent Gangs' For an explanation to these posts the star said, "I just want you to understand that, during that time, I had a team of people that were helping me out. Whether they posted or I posted, it doesn't really matter at this point. For me, it's on my account and I take full responsibility and accountability for what is posted." Moreover, Jennie called those posts disgusting emphasizing herself being a proud republican and sharing her full support for law enforcement.
