LaKeith Stanfield Apologizes For Anti-Semitic Clubhouse Room

Lakeith Stanfield Issues Apology Following His Anti-Semitic Clubhouse Room Comments

Lakeith Stanfield was dragged on social media after he moderated a room on Clubhouse, which was slammed for being “anti-Semitic.”

The post initially started out as a conversation about Minister Louis Farrakhan but then went left.

“Yesterday I entered an online chat room on Clubhouse about the teachings of Louis Farrakhan. When the room’s participants noticed me, I was quickly made a moderator of this room,” he wrote.

“At some point during the dialogue the discussion took a very negative turn when several users made abhorrent anti-Semitic statements and at that point, I should have either shut down the discussion or removed myself from it entirely.”

He continued: “I condemn hate speech and discriminatory views of every kind. I unconditionally apologize for what went on in that chat room, and for allowing my presence there to give a platform to hate speech. I am not an anti-Semite nor do I condone any of the beliefs discussed in that chat room.”
