Rebecca Black Apologizes For Being Part Of Offensive Joke With Shane Dawson

Rebecca Black has made an apology to her fans and owning up to her mistake of taking part in a joke about the Holocaust.

The joke under fire was filmed years ago when Rebecca was just 16 with disgraced YouTuber, Shane Dawson.

Shane is currently being criticized for many things, including being part of the scheme to bring down James Charles and sexualizing Willow Smith.

“I am deeply ashamed to have taken part in such an offensive bit,” Rebecca wrote on Twitter, following fans re-surfacing the video to call her and Shane out on it. “Yes I was 16, uncomfortable, and didn’t know this was coming.”

She adds, “Shane, I know that deep down you are trying to learn and grow. But we must do better & take complete responsibility for how harmful this is. @shanedawson.”

Rebecca also added a true apology for her actions.

“I am so sorry to those I have hurt,” she wrote. “I wish what I would have done was shut such an offensive joke down, rather than uncomfortably play into something I deep down knew was wrong.”
