‘Bachelor’ Star Taylor Nolan Apologizes For Past ‘Hurtful’ Tweets: ‘I’m Sorry I Wasn’t Better’
“I know I’ve said highly problematic, highly hurtful things in the past,” Taylor Nolan, 27, said at the start of her lengthy apology video, posted to Instagram on Sunday (Feb. 28.) Over the weekend, fans on Reddit had dug up some tweets from 2011 and 2012 where a teenage Taylor insulted different ethnic groups like Jews, Asians, and Indians. She also made “fat phobic” comments in the tweets. In the thirty-minute video, Taylor explained that she engaged in this behavior online because she “hated myself” and “hated the Blackness inside me because of the racism I…experienced.” Taylor, who is biracial, “was trying to protect myself by being as close to Whiteness because ‘white is right.’ Because my blackness, what I was told, was wrong.”
