YouTuber, Elle Darby has come out to offer an apology after she got called out over racist tweets she made a decade ago.

Elle Darby has offered an apology for her racist tweets years ago. In a video posted on her Youtube channel, she said:
“I’ve tried this video so many times and this so many times is not good enough because…I am sorry… the tweets I made in 2011 was so disgusting… they were racist, they were fatphobic, they were homophobic, there were enabling words in them, I am ashamed and disgusted in myself.
There is no one person on this earth that hates me more than I do right now. And the pain I know I have caused to so many of you eats me up. To know that I was someone you conceded a great friend. And his image of me is now tainted by someone who I don’t even recognize myself to have had being. Sorry doesn’t cut it… I am sorry. I hope you can see through my entire time on Youtube that this is not the person I am today. It is not the person I was last year. It is not the person I am.
This is the most hurtful thing I could have done to so many of you. And I know it feels very fresh because it just come out. And you may now see me with that same mindset. And those same thoughts. And I know those disgusting words and awful tweets are always going to be associated with my name.
And I wish I can do something to take that back, to change that, but, unfortunately, the only thing I can do is to continue bettering myself as I have done over the past 10 years. Since I made those tweets, I have grown from a girl to a woman I have lived more life. I have experienced more things. And I have had better education. My family, my son, my friends… my entire team, everyone that has ever watched and supported me on here, I have disappointed everybody.
“I will take a little bit of time offline just to further reflect on everything that has happened and to process a situation that I don’t think I will ever forgive myself for”, she added.
