As Twitchy readers know, Susan Sarandon faced backlash after saying a lot of Jewish people were 'getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country'.
Two weeks and one job loss later, Sarandon has now apologized for her comments.

The actress released a statement revealing that she had not intended to speak at the rally, which doesn't exactly make things any better.

It's amazing how potential career damage brings out apologies, eh?
She wasn't sorry until her agency dropped her

Bingo.

Ha! She sieg'd when she should have zagged.
She's like 100 yo she should've known better. Attention seeking whore is all she is

She doesn’t think it was a mistake, it is just probably impacting her bottom line now

“I will continue my commitment to peace, truth, justice, & compassion for all ppl. I hope that we can meet with love & willingness to engage in dialogue, esp with those with whom we disagree,” she concluded

Does this mean we’ll soon see Susan Sarandon at an anti-Hamas rally? 😂
The people of Twitter/X were not having it.
Reap it you old goat

Unvarnished. We like it.
If she'd realised her disgusting words were a 'terrible mistake' surely she would have made this statement two weeks ago when the backlash started.? I think this is what's meant by caving under pressure..

Right? It's hard to accept apologies from people who pretend for a living.
She meant every word of it and nobody should accept her apology.

It's gonna take a lot more than one statement delivered under threat of career damage.

Fact check: True.
Susan Sarandon: "I've made a terrible mistake."

Too late, you're in Mel Gibson territory now, byotch!https://t.co/4bFoiBORHD
Sorry, Susan. You done stepped in it.
It was indeed a "terrible mistake" to pretend that the people murdering Jews are somehow the victims. Let's hope @susansarandon uses her now-abundant free time to reflect on the reasons she made such a mistake. https://t.co/AoGzZjnTmO

We have doubts. Usually, the next step is to claim that she is the victim.
