On her Tuesday taping of The Morning Toast, Jackie O says she has no plans to apologize for saying, “If you’re going to shoot up a movie theater it’s not going to be the most expensive one.” She received instant backlash on her social media pages.

She tried to clarify her comments on social media by posting: “Overall, I was just saying I’ve been feeling safer in movie theaters … because why would a shooter pay $30 for a movie when they can pay $15. That’s it.”

That only seemed to make things worse.

Buzzfeed caught up with the host who said, “Yesterday I offended some people on this show about movie theaters. There was a lot of talk about it. People really want me to apologize, and I’ve thought about this … and I’m not going to apologize for what I said, because people are making it so much more than it is. And I don’t want to condone doing that.”
