American tennis player Taylor Townsend has issued an apology for comments she made about Chinese food while staying in the Chinese city of Shenzhen for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Townsend, while attending a dinner buffet, posted on Instagram videos of local cuisine, which included bullfrogs, turtles and sea cucumbers, calling the food options "crazy" and captioning one of the videos by saying she would have to "talk to HR."
Townsend faced backlash on social media for the comments, which were perceived as culturally insensitive. On Wednesday, she took to Instagram and apologized, vowing to be better.
