co-star Kathryn Dennis was accused of making remarks to radio host Tamika Gadsden.
In a heated exchange over politics, Kathryn used a monkey emoji in reference to Tamika.
The symbol has long been considered racist against black people.
Kathryn also called the podcaster a “weenie” and told her to “grow a pair.”

Kathryn has apologized for her remarks: “I want to acknowledge that using a monkey emoji in my text was offensive, and from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone I hurt.
“Although the context was not my intention, there are no ‘if ands or buts’ that excuse me.
"I did not give it thought, and it was and is wrong. I know I am not that person. I know and will do better.”
