The fighter took to social media to apologize to the public and the Mexican influencer shortly after being kicked out of the reality show:
For me it’s a moment of deconstruction and that path isn’t always an on and off switch, is it? I had to look at everything to understand it and then reformulate my perspective. I understand that these are settings that can never be normalized. But I think the most important thing is to apologize from the bottom of my heart to Dania, her family and all the women who have been affected by my hiring.
