Singer Demi Lovato has offered her "deepest apologies" to those, who got offended after her mother joked about Rio's Zika virus outbreak.
The 23-year-old "Skyscraper" singer took a lot of heat recently after sharing a Snapchat video that showed her mother Dianna Hart joking about the Rio virus outbreak, "Everybody down in Rio gonna get the Zika virus!"
While Lovato was not in the video, she was heard giggling in the background and added laughing emojis to the video.
The singer insisted that she didn't mean to offend anyone. It was her mother, and not the Zika virus, that she found funny.
"In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies," she wrote on Twitter.
