The 10 most ridiculous celebrity apologies of 2017 (that have nothing to do with harassment)
Leaving aside the many cases of sexual misconduct that have hit the headlines, here are some apologies from celebrities for acts that range from errors of omission to insults to showing nipples on social media
As the downfall of Harvey Weinstein triggered an avalanche of allegations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood, the end of 2017 saw a rush of celebrities apologising for horrific behaviour. Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Mario Batali, Charlie Rose, Louis C.K. (Of course, some of their apologies were problematic as well.)
But throughout the rest of the year, as is tradition, many celebrities also committed other missteps and had to say they were sorry. Here are the most ridiculous of the bunch.
Danced with a kangaroo onstage at a comedy show
In April, Mike Epps surprised a Detroit audience by bringing a kangaroo onstage during a comedy routine.
