Selma took a ton of warmth from people who stated she was a raging, Islamophobic bigot.
In an apology shared Tuesday on IG, Selma says … “I mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a horrible err in my phrases, and resulted in hurting numerous individuals I by no means meant to, and I deeply remorse this.”
Selma says she deleted her remark after she realized she was amplifying hate and misinformation … and says she now understands why she upset the Muslim neighborhood.
