"Sometimes, you do things without thinking," Wilson began in his statement."Then you are called out for it. Then you get it. It's why the Razzies were created in the first place."
"The recent valid criticism of the choice of 11 year old Armstrong as a nominee for one of our awards brought our attention to how insensitive we've been in this instance," he continued."As a result, we have removed Armstrong's name from the Final Ballot that our members will cast next month. We also believe a public apology is owed Ms. Armstrong, and wish to say we regret any hurt she experienced as a result of our choices.
The razzies are already mean-spirited & classless, but to nominate a kid is just repulsive & wrong. Why put a kid at risk of increased bullying or worse? Be better.Wilson also announced that the Razzies will impose a new age restriction for nominations going forward."We are adopting a Voting Guideline precluding any performer or film-maker under 18 years of age from being considered for our awards," he said.
Earlier this week, the organization came under fire for Armstrong's inclusion with former and current child actors weighing in on the conversation.
