Mia Thornton, a cast member of 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' (RHOP), has come under fire from fans after making a transphobic comment during a recent episode. The controversy erupted when Thornton referred to another cast member's transgender sister using a derogatory term, sparking immediate backlash on social media platforms.
The episode in question featured a heated exchange between Thornton and fellow cast member, which quickly escalated when Thornton's comment was aired. Fans of the show, known for its diverse cast and inclusive storylines, were quick to express their disappointment and anger over Thornton's remarks. Many took to Twitter and Instagram to voice their disapproval, calling for an apology and more sensitivity training for the reality star.
In response to the backlash, Thornton issued a statement on her social media accounts, apologizing for her words and expressing regret for any harm caused. She stated, 'I deeply regret my words and the pain they have caused. I am committed to learning and growing from this experience.'
