Cher is apologizing for saying George Floyd she could still be alive if she was in the crowd during her fatal arrest … she says she let her emotions take over her.
The 74-year-old singer just returned from her weekend storm, where she suggested that she had intervened to save Floyd, saying she did a spiritual search after being dragged to the Internet.
Cher says: “These past few days have been difficult, soul searching and painful. My words were wrong / inaccurate. When I am very emotional, I must wait, go and then return. I felt sad and wished I could help George. Sometimes you can feel what you can’t explain in a twt. Sorry, that’s all I have. “
As we reported … Cher was accused of having a “white savior complex” for saying she could have helped Floyd if she were there when he was arrested, and she initially responded to rewind folding down.
Cher also deleted the initial tweet that got her into trouble, which said … “I was talking to mom and she said ‘I watched the policeman’s trial that killed George Floyd, and I cried … I said’ mom, I know that it will sound crazy, but … I kept thinking … maybe if I had been there … it could have helped. “
A lot of people wondered what, exactly, Cher would have been able to do for Floyd while the police kept the large crowd at bay … and now she is offering an excuse that at least seems sincere.
