Hannah Brown speaks out in ex-'Bachelorette' star's N-word controversy: 'I'll be better'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hannah Brown is apologizing once again for recently using the N-word in a video shared on Instagram.
About two weeks ago, Brown, 25, used the N-word while rapping along to the song "Rockstar" by DaBaby, and quickly drew criticism from fans.
The former "Bachelorette" star offered an apology on her Instagram story at the time, writing: "I owe you all a major apology. There is no excuse and I will not justify what I said. I have read your messages and seen the hurt I have caused. I own it all. I am terribly sorry and know that whether in public or private, this language is unacceptable. I promise to do better."

However, fans again criticized Brown at the time, saying that she failed to understand the severity of her language and that her apology was too insignificant.
The reality star has stayed relatively quiet on social media since then, but has now broken her silence to offer a more in-depth apology.
