That singer who got caught using a slur back in 2012 just put out a 10 minute apology video.
I used to think any apology was good enough, but now I look for them to name exactly what they did wrong and show they've learned. This one felt like he was just reading a script his manager wrote to save his tour. When does an apology stop being about fixing a mistake and start being about fixing your bank account?

Wait, that was 2012? How is this still coming up over a decade later?

Yeah, I used to buy any public apology too. Now if it doesn't feel real, it's just damage control for their wallet.

Oh, absolutely. That 10 minute director's cut of an apology is almost always about the money, not the man. If they really wanted to make things right, they would have done the quiet work years ago and shown it through their actions, not through a camera. An apology that takes that long to film feels like a business meeting, not a moment of honesty. If they had truly changed, they would have said the same thing in 30 seconds and meant every word of it.
