The move came after resurfaced Facebook posts showed Nguyen criticizing the protests which turned violent during the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Bravo immediately cut ties with the reality star in light of the \u201coffensive\u201d social media posts. Nguyen quickly apologized on her Instagram page, explaining that she had deleted the controversial memes and deactivated her Facebook account. She also told fans she\u2019d be providing a more in-depth defense later on.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen did an Instagram Live Wednesday and blamed the incident her social team at the time, but also accepted responsibility for her actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want you to understand that, during that time, I had a team of people that [were] helping me. Whether they posted [or] I posted, it doesn\u2019t really matter at this point,\u201d she said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/01\/26\/jennie-nguyen-blames-social-media-team-for-sharing-offensive-posts\/\">Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s on my account and I take full responsibility and accountability for what was posted,\u201d the \u201cHousewives\u201d alum continued. \u201cI know I hurt a lot of people. My viewpoint during that time in 2020 was emotional and it brings back a lot of memories during that time when we went through such a tragic, terrible year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, Nguyen made her political affiliations clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you to understand that my political stance, I still support that,\u201d she told her Instagram followers. \u201cI\u2019m very proud to be a Republican. I am proud to be able to say I have the freedom of speech, too, and to have an opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, expressing her support of police officers, but calling out bad behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t tolerate violence, but I do support my law enforcement. I know with every profession, there\u2019s good and there\u2019s bad. I don\u2019t support the bad. I don\u2019t support the brutality with black people or with any race,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I do support my law enforcement, but that doesn\u2019t make me racist. To support my political stance, that does not make me a racist. I want you to understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Nguyen attempted to win back her followers\u2019 support by having a friend stick up for her. She did the Live while sitting with her pal Michael. He insisted that the ex-Housewife is \u201cnot a racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver time, I did have to educate her on the whole Black Lives Matter and everything like that because I\u2019m a gay black man, so I live it every day\u201d Michael explained. \u201cAnybody that\u2019s saying she paid him to be there or she pulled the friend card, I see all your comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cBut here\u2019s the reality.
