AceShowbiz - People may think that Jennie Nguyen will be fired from "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" amid her racist posts scandal. However, the reality TV star is still part of the Bravo show, according to a new report.
A source debunked online speculations that Jennie was let go after she faced backlash for her old Facebook posts criticizing Black Lives Matter movement. The source claimed to Entertainment Tonight that "no one has been fired from the Bravo show."

She additionally posted about a theory, which has been debunked, that George Floyd assaulted a student in Spain. Another post was a cartoon which seemingly made light of the rash of protesters who were rammed by cars during the protests.
Jennie later issued an apology. "I want acknowledge and apologize for my deleted Facebook posts from 2020 that resurfaced today," Jennie began her statement on Wednesday, January 19. "At the time, I thought I was speaking out against violence, but I have since learned how offensive and hurtful my words were."
She went on to note that she "deactivated that account more than a year ago" and wanted to "continue to try to learn about perspectives different from my own." The mom of three added, "I regret those posts and am sincerely sorry for the pain they caused."
