Now, she's back from her social media hiatus, with yet another apology video.
Her new apology replaces her old one, not because she wants to "hide it... or pretend it didn't happen," but because it "does not represent the human being [she is] today."
"I owe you guys a sincere apology," she explains in her new video, titled Let's Chat: 9-25-18.
"In that video I come off more as a victim; I am not a victim in any way, form or fashion in this situation."
She continues, “" take full responsibility for the things that I re-tweeted and the things that I tweeted six and a half years ago. I am truly sorry. I have changed so much as a human being in the past six and a half years; I have grown so much and have gained so much knowledge and respect. I know that prejudice and stereotypes are not funny ever in any way, fashion or form. I know that is nothing to joke about and I understand that. Through the situation I have grown and I have learned so much and I’m gonna continue to learn and grow."
Laura explains how she took some time off to reflect on the past and think about her future as an influencer, which include the responsibilities she will take on from now on.
"I literally have millions of people watching me," she explains. "I am a role model and I have to stand for more and I have to do a better job."
The video ends with her saying, "I want to help this whole community that right now is not in a good place to turn it around and put it in a beautiful place where we come to beauty to grow together and to feel good again."
