Speaking on the first episode of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast, the actress and comedienne apologised again for her words.
In her tweet, she made a remark about black, Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett, she tweets: “If Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.” Barr later apologised and said she was not a racist, just an idiot who made a bad joke.
She echoed her comments on Boteach’s podcast, saying: “Of course I’m not a racist, I’m an idiot, and I might have done something that comes across as a bigoted and ignorant and I know that that’s how it came across. I ask for forgiveness because I do love all people, I really do.”
“I have black children in my family,” Barr said, sobbing. “I never would have wittingly called any black person and say they are a monkey. I just wouldn’t do that, and I didn’t do that and that people think that I did that, it just kills me.”
