I made a stupid, careless comment rooted in privilege and I am sincerely sorry.”

“I shouldn’t have said it or even thought it,” Mendelsohn said in an email.

“I work to support these movements and know that the people affected by these issues never get to be exhausted or have nothing left. I have to continue to check my privilege and work to be a better ally.”
