So I was like, ‘Okay. Has she been doing something on the side that I’m not aware of because I’ve been so focused on activism?’ And clearly, it was interpreted differently. I watched her and I thought she was amazing, and I was rooting for her”, via People.

Debra not only apologized to Kim but also stated that she’s always supportive of women.
