Miller made the alleged comments to a 7-year-old black girl.
“I realize that racism can come not just from hate, but also from ignorance, she continued. “No matter the cause, it is harmful, and it is my fault. While I cannot change the past or remove the harm I have done, I promise to educate myself, learn, grow, and do better. While I hope to one day earn your forgiveness, I recognize that words alone are not enough. I understand it takes time and genuine change.”“At this point, this is bigger than Kamryn and I,” Smith said.
“This broke me as I was working on show and pregnant with my own black daughter. In hindsight, I, too, should have left. I should have stood with my sister, Adriana Janae Smith and supported gorgeous baby Kam and left too,” Kingg continued. “Seeing a 7-year-old little black girl be put in a box in a corner and treated so violently because of the color of her skin was heartbreaking. It reminded me of when I ‘found out I was black’ at an age not much older than her.
