Kim apologises for shocking Instagram video

KIM Kardashian is looking to atone for using the word “retarded” in an Instagram video after people didn’t understand her and Jonathan Cheban’s Halloween costume as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.

“I want to apologise for what I said in a recent video post that is inappropriate and insensitive to the special needs community,” she told Page Six in a statement.

“I try to learn from my mistakes and this is one of those times. Please know that my intention is always pure, and in this case, it was a mistake. I’m sorry.”

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star sparked online outrage when she called her friends at Kendall Jenner’s Halloween party “retarded” when they didn’t recognise the on-again, off-again couple’s 1999 VMAs outfit.

Kim eventually deleted the video after people on social media began slamming her for using the slur.
