Hannah Berner apologizes for viral Megan Thee Stallion interview: 'Careless choice of words'
=============================================================================================

Hannah Berner apologized for a red carpet moment with Megan Thee Stallion that didn't sit well with fans of the rapper.

The comedian and "Summer House" alumna took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to address criticism she received for her nearly three-minute interview with the "Savage" and "Hot Girl Summer" music <a href="/story/entertainment/music/2024/02/06/megan-thee-stallion-billboard-hot-100-chart-hiss/72491444007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">musician</a> at the <a href="/picture-gallery/entertainment/movies/2025/03/03/oscars-2025-vanity-fair-after-party-photos/80526341007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair Oscar Party</a> on Sunday. Fans online criticized Berner because they thought the interaction with Megan on the red carpet showed racist microaggressions.

"Interviewing Megan Thee Stallion was a dream of mine. I love her music and it's my go to whenever I need to boost my confidence before a show. Looking back at the interview, I wish I used any other word except 'fight' to describe how her songs make me want to "fight" during Sunday's Vanity Fair Oscar Party livestream.
