Fox faced backlash this week for a tweet posted Wednesday by the account for its show “I Can See Your Voice,” which some users believed to include the use of an Asian slur.
“Do you think there’s a chink in Knight’s vocal armor?” reads the now-deleted tweet, which accompanied a short video of singer Julian Mendoza, who appeared on Wednesday’s episode of the Ken Jeong-hosted singing competition.
“On Wednesday, we posted a tweet in conjunction with ‘I Can See Your Voice’ that was inappropriate,” Fox said in a statement to TheWrap Friday. “The tweet has since been removed. We sincerely apologize to the Asian community and to all whom it offended.”
The tweet was sent from the Fox singing competition’s official account during Wednesday’s show, in which Mendoza was featured as one of this week’s six “Secret Voices” hiding whether they had a “good” or “bad” singing voice.
