The 44-year-old previously apologized for the Facebook commentary, saying she thought she “was speaking out against violence” with the controversial statements. But during an Instagram Live on Wednesday, she was singing a different tune. She explained:
You’re taking full responsibility, but you want everyone to know you had a team making your posts??? That sounds like DODGING accountability to us.

Jennie continued:
She’s really good at deflecting responsibility while claiming to take responsibility, huh? The businesswoman was joined on the livestream by her friend Michael, a self professed “gay Black man,” who claimed to have educated her about Black Lives Matter. He said:
