In response to the backlash, Nguyen apologized on social media, issuing several statements in which she expressed her regret for her comments.

I also want to extend an apology to Bayleigh and Swaggy- who are my cast mates and deserve my respect and compassion." "BLM to me every day. I'm trying to do the best I can with what is currently accessible to me," she continued, adding in another tweet."I'm off social media for a few days and will only be posting on IG from now on. Stay safe."

I would like to offer my sincerest apology to my colleagues to whom I have hurt directly or indirectly due to my insensitive remarks," she wrote."Let me be clear I am a POC that cares about BLM. I believe in this movement and I'm stepping away from social media to focus on my wellbeing and mental health. This is not goodbye, it's a I will see you again.
