Sheryl Underwood offended many with her comments criticizing natural hair on “The Talk” recently, and the comedian sat down for an interview with Curly Nikki to clear up her statement. She reportedly said natural hair was “nasty.”

She apologized for the remark, saying “I made a mistake and I’m sorry.” She also claimed that she was misunderstood and she loves being black.

On being misunderstood:

“Everyday after the show, I look at the footage as a way to continue to strive to be better… to express myself better. I play everything back so I can watch, learn and improve. When that segment played back, I knew that it would be misunderstood.”
