SAMANTHA BEE

The TBS host is apologizin­g for crossing a line in a Full Frontal immigratio­n segment aimed at Ivanka Trump in Wednesday’s episode. “Do something,” Bee urged, adding a female slur. “I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night,” Bee said in her apology tweet Thursday. “It was inappropri­ate and inexcusabl­e. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.” In a separate statement, TBS also apologized. Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoma­n for first lady Melania Trump, accused the media of bias in quickly canceling Roseanne over its star’s racist tweet, but merely apologizin­g for language directed at President Trump’s daughter: “The double standard is truly astounding.”
