The Bachelor ette star Hannah Brown has apologised after saying the N-word in an Instagram Live video over the weekend, issuing a statement that read: There is no excuse and I will not justify what I said.

The 25-year-old told fans that she had read their messages and had seen the hurt I have caused.

I own it all. I am terribly sorry and know that whether in public or private, this language is unacceptable. I promise to do better, she said.
