I know it was wrong, that video was two years ago and I look absolutely stupid and that\u2019s on me. \u201cI\u2019m extremely sorry to not only the people I offended but to all of my followers for disappointing them this way.

There\u2019s nothing I can do at this point\u2026 I wish I could take it back.\u201d View this post on Instagram Despite Naomi\u2019s apology, and promise that she would film another, \u201cbetter apology\u201d, people were not impressed with one person commenting on Instagram, \u201cNo, I\u2019ve come to a decision any TikToker who isn\u2019t black says the n-word from now on they will forever be canceled in my mind because this is a damn shame\u201d, which had more than 500 likes.
