Tumi Morake Apologizes For Down Syndrome Bad Joke! The comedienne found herself in hot water again after making ignorant comments about Down Syndrome during a stand up comedy session.
During a Roast Comedy Battle on Comedy Central, Morake went head-to-head with fellow comedian Schalk Bezhuidenhout, when she said: “You (Bezhuidenhout) are two * **s klaps away from Down syndrome, b*tch”.
Taking to her Facebook page, Tumi apologized saying she doesn’t condone in any way the discrimination against people with down syndrome.
“I apologise unreservedly for my comments. I do not condone in any way the discrimination against or the ignorance around people with DS. I hope the parents of children with Downs Syndrome and people living with Downs Syndrome find it in their hearts to forgive me. I was not out to harm, and I own up to how hurtful, thoughtless, harmful and ignorant it was,” she wrote.
