Camila Cabello<\/a><\/strong> is apologizing for her past behavior.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the 22-year-old pop star took to social media to issue an apology surrounding old online posts that have been deemed racist and\/or offensive. The posts, which seemingly resurfaced on Dec. 17<\/a>, show previous Tumblr posts the “Havana” singer shared around 2012, when she was a teenager.<\/p>\n

Some of the Latin Grammy winner’s uploads and re-blogs included gifs, memes and comments (with a few containing the N-word) that were both derogatory and racist towards the Black community.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart,” Cabello’s caption read<\/a> on Twitter and Instagram Stories, alongside two detailed messages of her explaining how “deeply” sorry she was over her past behavior online.<\/p>\n

“When I was younger, I used language that I’m deeply ashamed of and will regret forever,” she began her in-depth apology. “I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible and hurtful language, I was deeply embarrassed i ever used it.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I apologized then and I apologize now. I would never intentionally hurt anyone and I regret it from the bottom of my heart,” she continued. “As much as I wish I could, I can’t go back in time and change things I said in the past. But once you know better, you do better and that’s all I can do.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The Romance<\/em> songstress explained that as she’s gotten older, she’s learned to be more “aware” of her actions and words, including the meaning behind certain phrases she previously shared.<\/p>\n

“I’m now 22, I’m an adult, and I’ve grown and learned and am conscience and aware of the history and the paint it carries in a way I wasn’t before,” she wrote. “Those mistakes don’t represent the person I am or a person I’ve ever been. I only stand and have ever stood for love and inclusivity… My heart has never, even then, had any ounce of hate of divisiveness.”<\/p>\n

“The truth is I was embarrassingly ignorant and unaware,” Cabello added. “I use my platform to speak out about injustice and inequality and I’ll continue doing that.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Before closing her statement, the pop star left people with one last message: “I can’t say enough how deeply sorry and ashamed I feel, and I apologize again from the bottom of my heart.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
