Schilling apologized for the tweet, writing, "That didn't come across in any way as intended or interpreted." In another tweet, he wrote, "Needed to actually think a bit before acting on that one."

In response to backlash, Schilling wrote on his blog, "Let's make one thing clear right up front. If you get offended by ANYTHING in this post, that's your fault, all yours." He said he found the "latest brew ha ha" to be "beyond hilarious," adding, "I didn't post that ugly looking picture. I made a comment about the basic functionality of mens and womens restrooms, period."

Gottfried apologized for his words, writing, "I meant no disrespect, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families."

She later sued Disney for wrongful dismissal and sex-based discrimination; the case settled out of court.

She later took back her apology and says she's now proud of the photo.

Gomez and Wright, who were both underage at the time, were rumored to be in a relationship. They appeared to play this up for social media, and Gomez said the line was blurred behind the scenes and that she'd fallen in love with him. She claimed they had kissed both on camera and behind the scenes, but they had not done anything sexual. 

Gomez was eventually officially accused of having sexually assaulted Wright when Wright himself posted a video confirming the allegations. Gomez continued to deny the claims and said she had never, ever inappropriately touched him, adding he'd taken things out of context in his video. She did apologize for ever having made Wright uncomfortable, but said she did so unknowingly. She acknowledged she had a shaky understanding of physical boundaries and consent, having grown up in a home with parents who were very touchy and affectionate.

Green, whose lawyer claimed the sex was consensual, pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years of probation.  

The prank involved putting cling wrap on the ground and seeing how her dog reacted to running over it. 

Houts apologized and claimed she doesn't abuse animals, saying her dog was unhurt and that she did not spit on him, despite it appearing that she had.

Westbrook later said she had been manipulated into making her initial "Bye, Sister" video against Charles by Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson (also, incidentally, on this list). 

PewDiePie apologized but called accusations of antisemitism "unfair," saying he was just trying to show people "would say anything for five dollars." 

While Cumia didn't apologize, he did try to clarify his comments, saying they were not racist and that his use of the word "savage," for example, was in reference to violent people and not Black people.

"Sorry my gag pic of the little fella in the posh outfit has whipped some up. Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased," he wrote. "Soon as those good enough to point out it's possible connotations got in touch, down it came. And that's it."

Hopkins edited and then deleted her tweet.

*The tweet has been translated to English, as it was originally in French.

She later apologized, calling her comments "not at all appropriate."

"I'm one of those people who doesn't go with a crowd," Minaj later said of her tweet. "I like to make my own assessment of everything without help from everyone."
