Actress Gina Rodriguez has apologized for using the N-word while singing along to “Ready or Not,” a song by The Fugees, in a now-deleted video on Instagram on Tuesday.
Rodriguez, who is Puerto Rican, has touted her efforts to expand opportunities for people of color. In 2017, she created her own production company,"I Can and I Will" to promote underrepresented communities off and on camera. Rodriguez was also accused of erasing black women during an interview about her movie “Small Foot.” After GlobalGrind’s senior entertainment editor Xilla “Blogxilla” ValentineRodriguez’s co-star Yara Shahidi “goals for so many young, Black women,” Rodriguez interrupted him to say “for so many women.” Some interpreted her interjection as discrediting a black actress’ accomplishments.
