Quick Glance: Ronda Rousey Apologizes for Sandy Hook Conspiracy Video
- Eleven years after sharing a video promoting conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey issued a comprehensive apology. In a statement on X, Rousey expressed that she has regretted the post 'every day of my life.'
- In January 2013, just a month after the tragic event, Rousey shared a YouTube link that cast doubt on the shooting. She admitted that she did not believe the content but sought alternative narratives in her horror. Although she quickly deleted the video, the damage had already been done.
- Rousey acknowledged that she attempted to apologize several times but hesitated out of fear that calling attention to the video would amplify conspiracy theories. In her recent apology, she stated that she deserves to be disliked and sincerely apologized to those affected by the massacre.
- The response to Rousey’s apology was largely positive, with many users on X praising the sincerity of her message. Her statement coincided with a Reddit AMA that prompted questions about her original post. The Sandy Hook shooting remains one of the deadliest school shootings in the U.S., with ongoing harmful effects from associated conspiracy theories on the affected families.
