'GMA' Co-host Lara Spencer Apologizes For Prince George Ballet Comments: 'I Screwed Up'

Lara Spencer apologized on the air Monday for comments she made regarding Prince Georges ballet lessons on Thursday.

I screwed up. I did, the Good Morning America co-anchor said, staring straight into the camera. The comment I made about dance was insensitive, it was stupid and I am deeply sorry. Ive spoke with several members of the dance community over the past few days.

She added, Ive listened Ive learned about the bravery it takes a young boy to pursue a career in dance.

Following her apology, Spencer showed a segment in which she interviewed three professional male dancers Robbie Fairchild, Travis Wall and Fabrice Calmels about their own experiences.

For me the lesson is that words hurt, and it was not my intention, but it was insensitive and I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to apologize personally to you and for you guys coming in here to talk to me and to educate me and, again, Im really sorry, she said.

This is Spencers first on-air apology, as she previously apologized for the comments she made last week in a statement she posted to her Instagram Story on Friday.

My deepest apologies for an insensitive comment I made during pop news on Thursday, she wrote after she laughed and mocked George, who is 6, in a segment about his upcoming class curriculum.
