“I am truly sorry I performed at Mar-a-Lago and would not have done so if I’d known what I learned while I was there,” she wrote on Berlin’s Facebook page. “My goal in performing was not to support a political party. I see now that that’s not the way it appeared and I am apologetic for that as well.”
“The contract stated it was a small Covid-safe event for the members of Mar-a-Lago. Unfortunately it was not Covid-safe anywhere in Florida. I had no idea masks and social distancing were not required. I thought I was current on all Covid news everywhere, but clearly I was not. I was shocked by Florida and Mar-a-Lago’s lack of regard for the pandemic and if I’d known I would never have gone. Once I fulfilled my contractual obligation, I left the event as quickly as I could. It is a mistake I regret. I took a Covid 19 test yesterday and tested negative.”
Specifically referencing her LGBTQ fans, Nunn concluded, “My apologies to those in the LGBTQ community who thought my performance was a statement against them. I have been and always will be fully supportive.”
