After Twitter fans lambasted on Chris Brown’s girlfriend, Karrueche Tran for mocking at Blue Ivy’s ‘uncombed’ hair on BET’s 106 & Park on Monday, the model has now tendered in a public apology to the tot and her parents, Beyonce and Jay Z as well as their fans for what went down.
It was earlier reported that Karrueche dissed the three year old during a special segment “Top Six Things Blue Ivy Thought at the VMAs” and then blamed BET for the script!
Imitating 2-year-old Blue Ivy, Karrueche said, “I really did wake up like this, because my parents never comb my hair.” Right after that comment, the model giggled and said, “Sorry, Blue! I love you!” But her apology came too late, and the Twitterverse promptly attacked Karrueche for what she said and claimed she tried to ruin Blue’s touching moment at the VMAs.
Despite apologizing on Twitter that same day, Karrueche released the following statement through her publicist Tuesday:
Yesterday, Karrueche Tran co-hosted 106 & Park and while hosting the show, she made a comment about Blue Ivy’s hair during the segment “Top Six Things Blue Ivy Thought at the VMAs”. In no way did Karrueche mean to offend Blue Ivy or her parents, Beyonce and Jay Z.
This was Karrueche’s first time hosting on live television. Although she had been rehearsing the script for days, there was a script change ten minutes before showtime to add coverage of the VMAs and the Mike Brown Memorial. Karrueche had not reviewed the revised script until she read it on the teleprompter.
Karrueche is taking full responsibility for the comment but wants it clear that she would not mock a child, “I am a huge Beyonce fan and I love Blue Ivy. I apologize for the comment and wish I had a chance to review the revised script so that I could have avoided participating in that segment.”
Karrueche admires girls and women who wear natural hair, “I love that Blue is able to wear her natural hair. I laugh when I am nervous and when I registered what I had just said, I of course was taken aback.”
Should fans hate or love Karrueche now?
