After appearing before the Commission, Nora spoke to reporters outside and said she had submitted a written apology. She also noted that she understands the responsibility that comes with her role as a public figure and performer.
Nora said, "It was just a situation that I was put in, and there was no intention to offend anybody, but of course I have to be responsible as an artist. I definitely apologise, we have done everything in writing. They have been so kind and helpful. It's really important for us to give back to society. So, I decided that we should sponsor a few orphan girls, their education, so that is the goal after this matter." Watch the video here:
