Noah Cyrus ‘Mortified,’ Apologizes After Racist Post Defending Harry Styles

Cyrus’ post had an added layer of insensitivity, as Owens herself is Black. The 20-year-old singer took to her Instagram Stories again on Thursday (Dec. 3) to apologize for her post, writing, “i am mortified that i used a term without knowing the context and history, but i know now and am horrified and truly sorry.”

“i’ll never use it again,” she continued. “thank you for educating me. i in no way meant to offend anyone. i am so so sorry.”
