50 called out Oprah last month over former tight relationship with disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

The rapper attacked Oprah executive producing a documentary featuring several women accusing Russell Simmons of rape.

The ensuing backlash led to Oprah backing out of the film, although she has denied she caved into pressured to step away from the documentary. Oprah cited inconsistencies in the stories of some of Simmons’ accusers as the reason for pulling her support.

As for Alison Morris, she profusely apologized, and denied using the “n-word.” Morris said accidentally stuttered and unfortunately combined the word “Knicks” with “Lakers.”

“Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I, unfortunately, stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers.” Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term,” Morris said. “I apologize for the confusion this caused.Social media will not cut her any slack and have been going in on her social media accounts.”
