However, Lucy and her family both believe that Armytage’s comments were merely misinterpreted by viewers. Her family believes it was supposed to be a comment of solidarity instead of racially offensive. Furthermore, she feels that Armytage’s quip was just an attempt to show the likeness between them, even adding, “I’m sure she’d make the same comment if it was about hair colour, for example, if she too was a red head or had Maria’s texture hair.”
