| A lie? Come on, Michael, you're presuming a lot here. I thought the apology was perfectly acceptable. | |

| She apologized on Instagram which isn’t enough. She should apologize on the TV show. | |

| This is what I've been saying. It really doesn't matter why they were laughing at the young prince - it's enough that adults were laughing at a child. Who does that? Kids should be off-limits. |

| KingSpeed, if someone were being interviewed about gender roles and I said, "I really don't feel it's appropriate for women to direct Broadway shows or run companies, because they don't have the leadership for it," and then I "apologized" by saying, "Sorry, my remark was insensitive, I don't really feel that way. As far as I'm concerned, whatever you want to do, GO FOR IT" -- would you accept that apology? Of course not. The only sincere apology in that case would be, "I am sorry that stereotypical gender roles have been so ingrained in me that I made a terribly offensive remark. I will work to re-wire my brain and move beyond my conception of stereotypical roles." Do you see the difference? People shouldn't apologize by lying about their true feelings. Rather, they should admit that some of their feelings and beliefs are wrong and hurtful and ignorant, and they should apologize for THAT and then work to overcome those feelings. That's the kind of apology I, for one, would accept. |

| If you "totally agree" with KingSpeed on this, please read my post above and then please explain to me what's wrong with my logic. I'm honestly interested in what you have to say about that. | |
