The statement read: “Hi everyone, I want to just take a moment to address the recent events that took place at the concert I attended in Atlanta. I deeply regret the circumstances that led to my arrest on September 30th. I understand the impact and the severity of my actions and words, and I am deeply sorry.”
She continued: “I take responsibility for my actions and I apologize to all of those that were affected by my behavior, especially to the officer and the black community, whom I insulted and disrespected.”
Hannah ended it by writing: “This experience has been incredibly humbling and challenging because I simply have no recollection of that night. This is out of my character and I would truly never say things of that nature to hurt anyone. All I can do is ask for forgiveness, in time, and to change my behavior and learn from this experience. Thank you for those who have shown support during this time.”
The Love Island USA star was charged with two felonies including terroristic threats and willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer. Hannah was released from jail after shelling out $8,000 for bond. None of the season six cast mates have spoken out about Hannah’s arrest or actions.
