I almost feel sorry for her. nice friends she's got there.https://www.yahoo.com/news/spartanburg-teenager-daughter-local-news-191554169.html
Videos that show the daughter of WSPA news anchor Amy Wood and magistrate judge Mike Wood using racist and homophobic language surfaced across numerous social media and websites January 12.
---------
"There is absolutely no excuse for anything that came out of my mouth and I can only imagine the pain the people felt when watching those videos," Gracie said in her apology.
Gracie Wood said she was not raised to believe those thing but understands it doesn't change the impact of her words, which hurt people in the Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Asian, Middle Eastern and LGBTQ+ communities. She said she plans to use this opportunity to learn and grow and become a better person.
"I've met with several leaders in the communities that I offended," Gracie Wood said. "And I've had several people reach out to mentor me. I hope with their guidance and my self-accountability that I will become more educated and come out on the other side as a better human being."
There will be consequences for Gracie following the release of these videos. She is a senior at Oakbrook Preparatory School in Spartanburg and performed with the school's theater department and was a member of the volleyball team. She announced in her apology video she is no longer in attendance at her school and will not be allowed to walk at graduation. She also said there will be "several more consequences to come."

(38 posts)2. Is there any group she didn't insult?
I just can't listen to it (not today), so I don't know if her apology covers all the groups she insulted:
"... which hurt people in the Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Asian, Middle Eastern and LGBTQ+ communities."
