In an effort to explain his intentions behind the derogatory slur, Goldberg posted an apology video that explained, “When you get to a certain age, you use words you know from childhood or remember saying, and that’s what I’m doing today. And I shouldn’t have.
She also added, “I should have thought about it a little longer before saying it, but I didn’t. I should have said ‘cheated’ and I used another word and I’m really , really sorry.”
