NeNe Leaks has officially issued an apology for her controversial rape comment during her recent stand-up comedy gig. The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star took to social media to say sorry for what she did, and she also admitted that she regretted making that comment toward a heckler.

On Monday, Leakes posted an apology on her Facebook page. “I truly regret and apologize for what I said from the stage in Oakland over the weekend,” the 49-year-old television personality wrote. “Sometimes words can cut deep and hurt when you have no intentions of them doing so.”

She continued her post by expressing her remorse, especially since she’s also a victim of abuse in the past. “As a woman and someone who has survived abuse, I regret the words that I used,” Leakes stated. “I made a mistake and I should have known better. I hope people accept my deepest and sincerest apologies. I am sorry.”

Just this past Saturday, Leakes performed in front of a crowd at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California. She blurted her controversial rape remark to a woman when the latter heckled her after joking about male Uber drivers who are trying to sleep with their female passengers. The Hollywood celebrity apparently wished for the heckler to get raped by her Uber driver that night, according to Us Weekly.

A fan managed to record Leakes’ unwanted response to the heckler and posted it online. The video has since been making rounds on Facebook, and the star has received a lot of flak from the people who watched it. Many called out the comedian for thinking that it was a funny gesture. “Horrible. Promoting rape culture,” one commented. “Prime example of why everyone can’t be a comedian,” another wrote.

Many fans of the fashion designer also echoed their concern for Leakes, saying that she’ll surely face some serious repercussions because of this. However, it remains to be seen if Bravo will be taking action against the actress in light of the scandal, as per Fox News.

Leakes just recently returned for the 10th season of “RHOA,” alongside co-star Kim Zolciak, whom Leakes is currently feuding with. Sources say it’s possible that Leakes could end up losing her job as cast member of the show.
