American actress Skai Jackson has apologised to Kenyans after facing backlash over remarks she made about her 2018 visit to the country, insisting her comments were taken out of context and were never meant to offend anyone.
The former Disney star had sparked outrage after claiming in a viral interview that mirrors were expensive in a village she visited, adding that many children only saw their reflections for the first time using her phone.
The comments triggered criticism from Kenyans, who accused her of promoting harmful stereotypes about the country.
Responding to the controversy in a video shared on social media, Jackson clarified that she was referring to a specific rural village she visited during her trip and not Kenya as a whole.
