“Good Morning America” host Lara Spencer apologized for “insensitive” commentary about Prince George’s ballet classes on Monday morning, three days after she made the remarks during a segment on ABC’s morning show.
“The comment I made about dance was insensitive. It was stupid and I am deeply sorry,” she said before announcing that she had interviewed “three influential dancers who have lived it firsthand.”
In a clip of the interview Spencer said was meant to “turn a negative into a positive,” she told Robbie Fairchild, Fabrice Calmels and Travis Wall, “Thank you guys for being here. It has been a true education for me and an opportunity, I hope.”
