Taking to Twitter to share a handwritten note, Gigiexplained: "I was honoured to host the AMA's last night and to work withsome of the most respected writers in the business. I removed or changed anythingin the script that I felt took the joke too far, and whether or not you chooseto see it, what remained was done in good humour and with no bad intent."
THE BEST RED CARPET STYLE FROM THE AMAs
The 21-year-old continued: "I too have been the centreof a nationally televised comedy skit that poked fun at my actions, and wasable to find the humour in it. I believe Melania understands show business andthe way shows are written and run.
"I apologise to anyone that I offended & have onlythe best wishes for our country. Respectfully x Gi."
