Jamie Lee Curtis Admits She Jumped The Gun On The Viral Covington Catholic Students Story

A celeb owning up and admitting wrong? *checks for flying pigs*

Most people jumped the gun when the viral video of the Covington High School students and Native American activist came out. Heck, I was one of those people. I tried to be measured in my initial response and still feel good about that, but to be truthful, I really didn’t feel comfortable writing about it because my gut TOLD me there was probably more to the story. But it was trending everywhere, and I didn’t feel like I had a choice. I couldn’t ignore the story. It HAD to be covered, so I made a judgment based on the information available to me at the time.

I still wish I stuck with my gut, but we’ve corrected the record and have done a TON of stories in support of those boys since then.

If you know the truth and refuse to apologize, shame on you. YEAH YOU KATHY GRIFFIN.

It IS possible to own up and admit wrong. Jamie Lee Curtis did.

There are two sides to every story. I made a snap judgment based on a photograph & I know better than to judge a book by its cover. I wasn’t there. I shouldn’t have commented. I’m glad there wasn’t violence. I hope theses two men can meet and find common ground as can WE ALL! pic.twitter.com/R20v9ot2Ey

I’m actually shocked by the number of people who are angry at her.

This is terribly disappointing. I thought you were someone dedicated to honesty and truth and here you are saying a press release convinced you that what you saw was false. What's next–defense of Trump?

DID YOU MISS THE MAGA HATS?

I'm a reporter. Move on.

“Reporter.”

This is damage control, plain and simple. You should be able to see that.

JLC, I adore you. That said, these kids knew what they were doing when they rolled up in MAGA hats.

— D.C. Phillips (@FrightfulFables) January 21, 2019

Um…they were supporting their President. How dare they???? Is that really what this is coming to? Now you can’t wear MAGA hats because it’s a sign you want to piss people off?

you have been bamboozled.

Wow, you really both-sides'd it. I'm disappointed in you. The family of the instigator had a PR firm write that. Look at that kids face and you tell me he wasnt filled with smug contempt. Sounds about white

This is poor. A statement written by adults changed what you saw with your eyes.

Or maybe it was the additional videos, which confirm what was said in the statement…

Jamie, no one made that kid stand there. The grin on his face and condecending mannerisms toward his elder tells the tale.

That man WENT UP TO HIM.

I hope Jamie Lee Curtis doesn’t listen to them. She did the right thing by owning up and admitting wrong. Those jerks hating on her should take notes.
