Nev Schulman Catfish's Apologizes for Racial Tweet

Nev Schulman is apologizing for an offensive tweet he posted Tuesday night during BET's Black Girls Rock! show.

In the tweet, which has since been deleted, the Catfish star wrote, "#BlackGirlsRock I totally agree. They also tend to #catfish a lot. Just sayin''"

Not surprisingly, this insensitive, racial remark didn't sit well with the Twitterverse. The backlash was imminent, but one Twitter user named Cici (@melaninporn) set Nev straight as to why his tweet was offensive, and the Catfish star took note.

" Nev wrote after deleting his initial tweet. "Sorry to all I upset."

"You're right to be upset & don't have to accept my apology, but I am deeply sorry to those whom I offended and learned a valuable lesson," he continued.

"This was an important lesson for me and hopefully can be one for a lot of other people too," he tweeted.
