Julianne Hough is soooooo sorry for wearing blackface as part of her Crazy Eyes from OITNB Halloween costume. She took to Twitter to express her contrition:
I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New black, actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize.
You wore blackface — which has historically been used to disrespect and demean black people for centuries, which was quite literally invented as a method of disrespecting and demeaning black people — but had no intention of of being disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. OH, OKAY. [Bossip, E!, Twitter]

“I didn’t know it was your B-day until this afternoon. Meant as a peace offering. Happy Birthday,” responded Lady Gaga, gamely not mentioning that it’s very hypocritical to respond to a birthday cake with #LoveNotWar and then #EatMyShit and #Hypocrisy. [Gossip Cop]
