Nathalie Hart after ‘enjoy rape’ joke: Rape not to be taken lightly
December 12, 2014 | 5:47pm
MANILA, Philippines - GMA-7 actress Nathalie Hart took to social media again to explain and apologize for the controversial rape joke she made on social media.
Earlier this week, Nathalie posted a photo on Instagram with the text: “According to my dads lesson: If rape is inevitable, lay back and enjoy it! #ihavethebestadvicer #mydadisthebes hahaha.”
The statement drew ire on social media, with netizens criticizing Nathalie as insensitive
In an Facebook post on Friday, Nathalie said sorry for her Instagram post and said she understands that her statement “was incorrect and irresponsible,”
“The reason why my dad said this statement to me was because I had expressed my concern to him for some things that people had been saying to me before this whole issue. I've been receiving hateful messages from this person that I was going to die in a most horrific way and my family would be part of it. This is why my father was trying to light-heartedly cheer me up because I was so upset. It didn't come from a place of malice or ill intent,” she explained.
Nathalie further said, “The reason why I posted the statement on Instagram is because I use my account to inspire myself and others. I'm now fully aware that what I said can be offensive and I take it back because rape isn't something to be taken lightly and is certainly not a joke.”
The GMA-7 actress also defended her father, who received flak on social media as well.
“Above anything else, my father the kindest, most thoughtful person I know, doesn't condone my actions and isn't to blame for my mistake,” she said.
Her complete statement goes:
