Ronda Rousey took to X on Friday to issue an apology that she says is a decade in the making.
. Instead, Rousey is very, very, very sorry she shared a video on Twitter over a decade ago that promulgated conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting.that concerned a video she shared way back in 2013. That video, which has since been deleted from the internet, was originally put out by a YouTube channel called ThinkOutsideTheTV, and alleged that the Sandy Hook shooting was part of a government conspiracy.
Since the video has largely been erased from the web, there’s not a whole lot we can say about it. One thing’s for sure, though: Rousey sure regrets sharing it. “I can’t say how many times I’ve redrafted this apology over the last 11 years. How many times I’ve convinced myself it wasn’t the right time or that I’d be causing even more damage by giving it. But eleven years ago I made the single most regrettable decision of my life,” Rousey said. “I watched a Sandy Hook conspiracy video and reported it on twitter. I didn’t even believe it, but was so horrified at the truth that I was grasping for an alternative fiction to cling to instead.
Welp, now it really seems like she has considered it. Rousey’s apology continues: “By some miracle it seemingly slipped under the media’s radar, I was never asked about it so I never spoke of it again, afraid that calling attention to it would have the opposite of the intended effect – it could increase views of those conspiracy videos, and selfishly, inform even more people I was ignorant, self absorbed, and tone deaf enough to share on in the first place.
Ronda goes on like this at considerable length. As far as celebrity apologies go, it might be the longest I’ve seen. I plugged her entire screed into a word count app and it is 478 words long, which is considerably longer than, say, geriatric George H. W. Bush’safter he was caught pinching a whole bunch of women’s butts from the confines of his wheelchair; for that inarguably more serious offense, Bush’s apology was only 84 words.
