Ethel Cain Apologizes for Offensive Old Posts: ‘Any Way You Feel About Me Is Valid’

Ethel Cain has apologized for offensive old posts that recently resurfaced online, but claimed they were dug up as part of a 'smear campaign.'

Per screenshots, an account belonging to Cain (real name Hayden Anhedönia) admitted to using the n-word; responded to a post about mocking Hispanic people with “build that wall”; and made rape jokes and fat-shaming comments. Along with all the old posts, Anhedönia said some of her personal accounts had been hacked (including her Spotify page), her family had been “doxxed and harassed,” and photos of her as a kid and “intimate details of my past have been passed around for fun.” Anhedönia added: “I am responsible for my actions and taking accountability for the mistakes I have made in the past, but everything beyond that is brutal slander, targeted harassment, and in the words of my own attackers, bullying with the end goal of me killing myself.
