Apology

In the wake of the controversy, Claudia and Jackie's original podcast (called The Morning Breath) was cancelled by Verizon's Oath network while Coca-Cola severed a social media sponsorship with @girlwithnojob. In a statement provided to the Daily Beast about her mother, Claudia said, "We want to be clear to our audience and fans that our political and cultural beliefs are not anti-Muslim or anti-anyone. Our views are separate from our mother’s. Being raised by a single parent, we were taught to make our own choices based on our personal beliefs. We are inspired to think for ourselves and we do. We do not condone discrimination or racist beliefs of any kind."

She also posted an apology video on Instagram to address the old (and since deleted Tweets): "Some really disgusting, vile, stupid tweets of mine resurfaced. I need to say how sorry I am... I was a dumb kid. I was 16, I thought I was being funny and cool on Twitter. It's not. I am not racist. I can’t believe I even have to say that."
