Attorney: Sabga sorry for using racial slur against PM

Star Sab­ga has ex­pressed re­morse for re­fer­ring to Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar as a “stink­ing c****e” dur­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with her niece, Genevieve Hadeed, in June.

Speak­ing at a me­dia con­fer­ence yes­ter­day, hours af­ter Sab­ga was re­leased from de­ten­tion, her at­tor­ney, Faris Al-Rawi, con­veyed the apol­o­gy on her be­half.

“She re­grets us­ing what has been prop­er­ly de­scribed as a racial slur. She has said that plain­ly. She has an ex­pla­na­tion as to why she said that. She was re­fer­ring to some­thing his­tor­i­cal, which I would not go in­to in much de­tail, but suf­fice it to say, she is very clear in her apol­o­gy. She says had she known she was speak­ing to the pub­lic for all time to come, she would have ex­plained her­self in bet­ter lan­guage,” Al-Rawi said.
