It sounds a lot like she’s sorry she got caught:
It has come to my attention that there are photos of me on social media from a decade ago dressed as Mr. T.
For some time I have been deeply embarrassed I ever thought such an inappropriate costume was a good idea and I apologise for any offence caused.

It was a serious lapse of judgement. It did not reflect my views then and does not reflect them now.

I am proud to stand on my record of tackling the very real issues of racial discrimination and prejudice faced by minority ethnic communities here and abroad every day.

I will not be diverted from continuing to take concrete action to support minority communities, assist refugees and oppose racial injustice in all its forms.
