In her official statement after the Love Island exit, Escobar wrote, 'Podcast clips from years ago have recently resurfaced, and I want to address it directly.'

In another post, Escobar emphasized the downside of 'cancel culture,' noting, it 'isn't accountability. It's online brutality.'

It's not. I know the truth.' The social media personality further stated, 'That video doesn't define me. But how the internet treats people? That says everything.'

MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad
MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad originally appeared on The Spun. The silence was deafening during Saturday's broadcast of Reds-Cardinals when St. Louis announcer Chip Caray made an awful slip while reading an ad for the team's upcoming Disability Pride Night. Advertisement While the veteran play-by-play voice quickly corrected the unfortunate mistake where he read the word "flag" with the "l," the half a minute or so to follow made for some of the most awkward television you'll ever see. The dead air was eventually broken by partner Brad Thompson who swooped in to note Sonny Gray's pitch being called a ball. There didn't seem to be anything intentional about Caray's comment, but that didn't change how tough of a listen it was. Ironically, Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman was caught using a much more pointed use of the homophobic slur a handful of years ago when calling the team's doubleheader vs. the Kansas City Royals. Advertisement "One of the [expletive] capitals of the world. 'Reds Live,' the pregame show, presented by Ray St. Clair Roofing…" Brennaman said, before apologizing later that night. I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith... I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again, I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds, I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at FOX. Mar 30, 2023; St. Louis, Missouri, USA; Bally Sports Midwest announcer Chip Caray and Brad Thompson wave to the fans during the second inning of an opening day game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Toronto Blue Jays at Busch Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images© Jeff Curry-Imagn Images I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for FOX Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I'd like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Brennaman had been exiled from broadcasting for nearly four years following the incident before returning to the booth with The CW last summer.
