The 33-year-old comedian, who has more than 20 million subscribers, made the announcement in an emotional 11-minute clip.
She explained:"It was not my intention to do blackface... but all that matters is that people were offended and it hurt them."I haven't done anything remotely like that, because I heard people say 'this is blackface' and 'I don't like that'."
She referred to another video, made in that same year, that included the words:"Hey, Ching Chong Wing Wong/... Sorry, that was racist/ I'm bad at rap songs." Marbles apologised repeatedly for offending anyone with the videos, adding:"I shouldn't have said that. Ever. It's not cool. It's not cute. It's not okay."The comedian, who was brought up in New York but now lives in Los Angeles, addressed a third video made in 2012, but which she did not show, and apologised for slut-shaming.
