Apology
Armytage has since apologized for the comment, saying to the Daily Mail, “I would be mortified if anyone thought I would say or think anything racist. It’s not in my nature. To anyone who I might have offended, I’m sorry.”

Petition
Long before the apology, thousands of people began a Change.org petition. In fact some 3,000 actually signed the petition! However after Armytage apologized, some of the people who signed the petition thanked Armytage for the apology issued and have gone on to accept that mistakes happen.
