'I believe that we who were blind to such things must acknowledge them and recognize them as our faults, our ignorance, and our white privilege.' Florence Pugh has apologized for her past involvement with cultural appropriation.
In a post on Instagram, Pugh said she's been reflecting over the last four weeks amid the world "trying to make change," acknowledging the "tidal wave of information" that's come her way.
The 24-year-old actress admitted to having worn cornrows, as well as bindis and henna. The actress shared that the first time she had heard of the term cultural appropriation was when she was 18, when she wore cornrows while meeting up with a friend. Pugh also discussed a time when as a child, she "befriended an Indian shop owner," who "would gift me things" and "share her culture with me," adding that she grew up being "obsessed" with henna.
