Comedian Jess Hilarious denies 'racism' accusation; apologizes to Sikh Men

March 18, 2019:

On Saturday, Instagram comedian Jess Hilarious, also known as Jessica Moore, has been facing backlash on social media for allegedly getting 4 Sikh men in turbans kicked off her plane 16 Mar, for making her feel "scared."

Jess posted a tweet with a video pointing out at Sikh men in turban boarding the plane. It is now deleted by her.

She later posted an Instagram story justifying her comments, and seeking an apology for her ignorance on the "different types of Muslims."

"Look Yall I am not racist and never have I ever been. We have Muslims in my family. However, I was totally unaware of the different types of Muslims, so yes I admit I'm ignorant to the facts so teach me," she wrote on Instagram.

She followed up with a series of videos (also deleted) where said she felt vindicated about her feelings considering the men were gone.

BJP Delhi MLA Manjinder S Sirsa shared her collated video on Twitter.

The incident comes just days after at least 50 people were killed in a terrorist attack on two mosques in New Zealand's Christchurch.
