Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham are speaking out.
The Ladies Like Us podcast co-hosts issued a statement following the media attention surrounding T.I.‘s recent appearance on their podcast, during which he controversially stated that he visits the gynecologist with his 18-year-old daughter to “check her hymen.”
“To everyone confused, angry and hurt by the recent episode of Ladies Like Us, we want to apologize for our knee jerk reaction to the uncomfortable topic. We were completely caught off guard/shocked and looking back, we should have reacted much differently in the moment. The comments that were mad and the reaction that followed are not in any way a reflection of our personal views on the topic. We support and love Women and feel that their bodies are theirs to do as they wish,” they wrote in their statement.
“There was absolutely no ill intent towards any party involved & feel deeply awful about the entire incident. We are not perfect, take full accountability of our lack of action & are continuously learning along the way. We know an apology doesn’t make this go away but we welcome the discussion- that’s what our podcast is about.”
