Da Brat Apologizes for Sperm Donor Comments

Last week rapper Da Brat and her wife Judy Dupart faced down furious backlash after a clip from their reality TV show, Brat Loves Judy, circulated online showing them choosing a white sperm donor after Da Brat said the only Black one looked like Jiminy Cricket [click here if you missed that]. 

Brat apologizes and says her words were taken out of context...

In a sit down with Tamron Hall Brat explains,

“We were looking for a Black donor We’re Black, we wanted a Black donor. So it was just misconstrued and taken way out of context.”

“I didn’t think it would be offensive to anybody. I cracked jokes about almost everybody that I saw, that one just happened to make it in the show. I wasn’t trying to be mean or say anything negative about Black people.”

"I guess they [the producers] thought it was funny and I didn't think it would bother anybody or else I would have taken it out. I had no idea people were going to be so offended, but I meant no harm whatsoever. People take things and run with it. I'm like, 'What?' People who know me know that I didn't mean any harm."

"If I offended anybody, I do apologize. But it was a joke between me and my wife and the doctor, like, we joke like that, we play around so it wasn't meant to be offensive in any way."
