Eva Longoria Clarifies Statement Of Downplaying Role Of Black Women In The Election

Published: Tuesday 10th Nov 2020 by Ryan

Eva Longoria is clearing the air.

The actress was recently slammed for her comments about Latina women being the real heroines of the 2020 presidential election (as we reported here). Now the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star is attempting to clarify those comments.

Her words below:

‘I’m so sorry and sad to hear that my comments on MSNBC could be perceived as making credit from Black women. When I said that Latinas were the heroines of this election, I simply meant that they turned out in greater numbers and votes more progressively than LATINO MEN.”

“My wording was not clear and I deeply regret that. There is such a history in our community of anti-Blackness in our community and I would never want to contribute to that.”

Despite her apology, there has been a mixed reaction to her words on Twitter:
