During Vanity Fair's Oscars after-party, comedian Hannah Berner made comments to Megan Thee Stallion that were widely criticized as racial microaggressions.
Berner's remark about Megan's music making her 'want to fight someone' was seen as perpetuating stereotypes about Black women and hip-hop culture.
Social media users highlighted the awkwardness of the interview, accusing Berner and her co-host Paige DeSorbo of interrupting Megan and displaying unprofessional behavior.
Berner issued an apology on Instagram, acknowledging her comments as thoughtless and expressing regret for the deeper implications of her words.
