Dr. Laura Schlessinger Apologizes For Using The “N Word” During Recent Show

Dr. Laura uttered the “N Word” more than once on her radio show yesterday. While she used it during a conversation with a caller about offensive language, she ultimately took to her blog to apologize to her listeners for using the word saying that it was a mistake that she regretted immediately.

On her blog, Dr. Laure wrote, “I always tell my listeners when they mess up, they need to follow the four R’s: take responsibility, have true remorse, try to repair it, and don’t repeat it. Yesterday, I messed up. I used the ‘n’ word on-air, and I regretted it as soon as the call was over. While it was in the context of making a point about the unfortunate use of that term by others who deem it acceptable or funny, it is a word that is hateful, hurtful and I should not have used it even to prove a point. After the call, I was terribly upset about it and pulled myself off the air for the rest of the show. Today, at the top of my program, I will apologize to my listeners.”
