Ethel Cain apologized for past comments, including using racist language, which resurfaced on social media. The transgender singer stated these comments were made at the age of 19 and were intended to be controversial. She explained that while she initially embraced progressive views, she later adopted inflammatory behavior to reject her prior beliefs. In response to the backlash, Cain is also pursuing legal action against accounts that participated in what she describes as a smear campaign against her.
"I want to address the Twitter/curious cat screenshots. That was my account and they were my words. I was 19 and I was entirely aware of what I was saying and that was why I said it."
"While I spent my later high school years being extremely progressive, as a way to reject the indoctrination of my environment and rebel against the prejudice, hatred, and ignorance, I fell into a subculture online that prioritized garnering attention at all costs."
"I flip-flopped again, rejecting all notions of my former 'cringe SJW [social justice warrior]' behavior and intended to be as inflammatory and controversial as possible."
