finally owning up to a mistake she made more than a decade ago ... formally apologizing for sharing a Sandy Hook conspiracy theory vid back in 2013.
The former UFC bantamweight champion infamously reposted the clip -- which questioned the authenticity of the tragic school shooting that took the lives of 20 children and six staffers -- to her social media page ... before almost immediately taking it down amid backlash.In a lengthy statement, she said,"I apologize that this came 11 years too late, but to those affected 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 caused.
Rousey -- who, at the time 11 years ago, called the video"extremely interesting" and a"must-watch" -- explained she only reposted the footage because she was"horrified at the truth" and was"grasping for an alternative fiction to cling to instead.
"So I convinced myself that apologizing would just reopen the wound for no other reason than me selfishly trying to make myself feel better," she said,"that I would hurt those suffering even more and possibly lead more people down the black hole of conspiracy bulls***Getty "Don't get wrapped up in the sunk cost fallacy," she said."No matter how long you've gone down the wrong road, you should still turn back."
