Demi Burnett – a former ‘bachelor’ student who appeared Colton UnderwoodThe – season is saying you’re sorry for wearing a controversial Yeezy jacket … with a hate symbol on it.
Demi posted an apology video on Tuesday night, in which she claims she only thought she was wearing a cool jacket made by Kanye West … and I didn’t even think about the Confederacy flag on my arm.

She says … “I just wore it that night, it was a Yeezy jacket, I thought it was so cool, I was like, ‘yes, Yeezy!’ And, I didn’t even like it, pay attention to that. This is ignorance. “
Demi adds that she didn’t realize how harmful the symbol is to people and says … “I’m so fucking sorry. Like, I’m disgusted with myself. I’m ashamed. It doesn’t even matter how I feel. I’m sorry, because that’s not what I stand for, that’s not what I do. And I’m really angry that I’ve used that. ”
She claims that the jacket was a gift from the father of her former musician Slater Davis – and he shared the photo in his Instagram story … so it looks like it was taken last year before they split up.
The Demi jacket scandal comes amid much greater race-related controversy in the ‘Bachelor’ nation … as host Chris Harrisonstepped away from the show for allegedly excusing historical racism – and specifically for defending the past competitor’s current ‘Bachelor’ Rachael Kirkconnell.
As for the Yeezy jacket … Kanye defended the design in 2013, claiming he was taking the Confederacy flag back and making it his own.
