Noah Cyrus issued an apology after being called out for using a racist term on social media while defending Harry Styles for wearing a dress in a magazine photoshoot.
According to E! and Billboard, the younger sister of Miley Cyrus used a derogatory word for Black people's hair. When she was made aware of the term's history, Cyrus retracted the comment.
"I am mortified that I used a term without knowing the context and history, but I know now and I am horrified and truly sorry," the musical artist wrote Thursday on her Instagram Stories. "I will never use it again. thank you for educating me. I in no way meant to offend anyone. I am so so sorry."
Styles caused an intense debate online when he appeared on the cover of American Vogue magazine in a lace Gucci ball gown.

The former One Direction band member responded to the backlash in an interview with Variety
“To not wear [something] because it’s females’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes,” he explained. “And I think what’s exciting about right now is you can wear what you like. It doesn’t have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred.”
