Alia Shawkat is "deeply sorry" for saying the N-word at SXSW in 2016

Us Weekly

A clip of the Search Party star and Arrested Development alum using the derogatory word while quoting a Drake song during an SXSW panel four years ago was recently unearthed. “I am deeply sorry and I take full responsibility,” Shawkat wrote in an Instagram apology last night. “It was a careless moment, one I’m ashamed and embarrassed by, but vow to continue to learn from. I regret using a word that carries so much pain and history to black people, as it is never a word to be used by someone who is not black.”
