Rodriguez backtracks on Neeson defense:

Michelle Rodriguez apologized for her remarks defending Liam Neeson, who revealed that he once wanted to kill a black man. “I apologize. I defended a friend in the wrong way,” Rodriguez said. Neeson recalled last week how he became hungry for revenge after a loved one was allegedly raped by a black man. After Neeson’s comments drew criticism, Rodriguez defended him, saying that Neeson’s acting in “Widows” was proof enough that he was not racist.
