Georgia Love, former star of The Bachelorette, has broken her silence on the ‘casual racism’ scandal that resulted in her being removed from her on-air duties at Channel Seven. In an interview with Stellar magazine, Georgia addressed cancel culture and issued an apology for her actions.
Expressing her dislike for the term “cancellation,” Georgia criticized the idea of having the power to completely remove someone from their industry or personal life. She believes that people should be given a chance to defend themselves in the heat of the moment, highlighting the unfairness of cancel culture.
Georgia also opened up about the impact the scandal had on her career. Losing her on-air job was incredibly difficult for her, as she had always placed great importance on her work and had considered it her dream job. She emphasizes that she never intended to offend or upset anyone and deeply regrets the hurt it caused.
The controversial video in question was posted by Georgia in September 2021 while she was visiting a Chinese restaurant. It depicted a cat behind the window and included the caption, “Shop attendant or lunch?!” Many criticized the video for perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Chinese people. Georgia deleted the post and apologized after being called out by an Instagram account dedicated to monitoring influencers.
In addition to the cat video, another post from 2013 resurfaced where Georgia made a similar joke about pets and Asian restaurants. She apologized for both instances, but denied any racist intent.
Georgia’s career soared in 2016 when she appeared on The Bachelorette, and she has since faced the challenges of navigating public scrutiny and the consequences of her actions. In her interview, she displayed remorse for her past mistakes and expressed gratitude to those who held her accountable. She believes that this awareness and accountability are crucial for personal growth and ensuring a better future.
