“A movie star. Like John Travolta? Come out! Come on. How many masseurs have to come forward? Let’s do this,” she said, referring to numerous massage therapists who have accused the “Savages” actor of making sexual advances.
Rashida sent a Tuesday tweet apologizing for the quote, saying she “made a thoughtless comment about John Travolta. I sincerely apologize. Nobody’s personal life is my business.”
Comment aside, the apology is a pretty classy move for such a hot-button issue. But we’ve come to expect it from Rashida: Beyonce doesn’t give you props for nothing.
