'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' star fired over offensive social media posts

Bravo fired Jennie Nguyen, a star from its reality show "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," on Tuesday after reports surfaced of offensive posts she shared on Facebook.

Nguyen posted anti-Black Lives Matter rhetoric on a now-deactivated page following protests over the murder of George Floyd, reportedly called BLM protesters thugs and taking a hardline stance against the racial justice protests, which swept the nation in 2020.

Nguyen, who is Vietnamese American, apologized a week ago after receiving widespread criticism for the comments, posting on Instagram that she "learned how offensive and hurtful my words were."

However, on Tuesday Bravo announced that Nguyen would no longer appear on Real Housewives.

"We recognized we failed to take appropriate action once her offensive social media posts were brought to our attention," Bravo said in a statement. "Moving forward, we will work to improve our processes to ensure we make better informed and thoughtful casting decisions."

Nguyen apologized again on Wednesday, but said multiple times that supporting law enforcement does not make her a racist, People.com reported.

"I am very proud to be a Republican. I am proud to be able to say I have the freedom of speech to choose and to have an opinion," she said in an Instagram live video.

"But again, you have policemen out there signing their life away every day, to make a commitment to protect the community. What about showing that appreciation. I did show that appreciation. I don't support bad ones. I don't support people that are out there burning buildings, because there are workers there," she said. "That doesn't make me racist. That's making me compassionate for the people that are suffering."

Nguyen added she "will continue to be out there and I will continue to let the world know that, 'Hey, this is not the last time you're gonna see of me.'"
