But what I said yesterday came out completely the wrong way and I want to sincerely apologise for that. </div><div><br/></div><div>“I didn't mean they weren't nice girls, just that they were very focused on what they were doing. I just didn't get a chance to get to know them as much as you would have liked, and that is all that that I meant by it. I'm truly sorry if I've offended or upset anyone, that is the last thing I'd ever want to do. I will choose my words much more carefully from now on.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Thank you to all of the beautiful people that have been defending and supporting me- I read and appreciate all of your comments and you all truly brighten my day, [sic]” she wrote.</div><div><br/></div><iframe class='instagram-media instagram-media-rendered' id='instagram-embed-0' src='https://www.instagram.com/p/BAslkNJQf7O/embed/captioned/?v=6' allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='865' data-instgrm-payload-id='instagram-media-payload-0' scrolling='no' style='border: 0px; margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.498039) 0px 0px 1px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14902) 0px 1px 10px 0px; display: block; padding: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);'></iframe><script async='' defer='' src='//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js'></script>
