More than a years after reposting a conspiracy theory around the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., ex-UFC fighter and WWE wrestler Ronda Rousey is saying sorry.

“I was never ever inquired about it so I never ever mentioned it once again, scared that calling attention to it would have the reverse of the designated result– it might increase the views of those conspiracy videos,” Rousey stated, calling herself “oblivious, egotistical and tone-deaf” for sharing one.
Rousey was simply beginning in her UFC profession at the time, and held the promo's females's bantamweight title. Initially, she doubled down on her sharing the video and her supervisor needed to ask forgiveness on her behalf.
“I are worthy of to be disliked, identified, disliked, felt bitter and even worse for it,” Rousey composed. “To those impacted by the Sandy Hook massacre, from the bottom of my heart and depth of my soul I am so, so sorry for the hurt I triggered.”
The Riverside, Calif. local closed her apology by caution of the sexy power of conspiracy theories– whose expansion in American life has actually acted as among the 21st century's specifying cultural patterns.
“It does not make you edgy, or an independent thinker, you're refraining from doing your due diligence amusing every possibility by absorbing these conspiracies,” Rousey stated. “They will just make you feel helpless, scared, unpleasant and separated.”
