Tori Spelling Apologizes For Racist ‘Maquisha’ Joke

Tori Spelling has apologized for a racist photo she posted, showing her daughter Hattie dressed up in a bandana with Cheeto nails joking that her name is “McQuisha.”

Spelling chose an evidently African American name, and viewers picked up on the racial undertones very quickly, and proceeded to drag her across social media.

Now she’s sorry.

“I posted a Story the other day that upset many of you,” she wrote. “That was NOT the intention at ALL. Hattie is 8. We watch and adore old reruns of Martin. She loves the character Shanaynay. She made up the name with ‘Mc’ [because] her last name is McDermott. She was reenacting the over-the-top fun and amazing character from Martin. She is innocent and didn’t mean anything by it.”
